An intelligent man,” says the President of the Admiralty Interview Board, “never makes a good officer.” The Board agrees – and a new batch of cadets arrives wonderingly at the navel training college. They do not wonder for long. The Navy, as represented by The Artful Bodger and his all too expert staff, plunges them headlong into a strange hard world.
The wold-be Nelson are a mixed bunch of teen-agers from every part of the Commonwealth. They could easily wreck the patience of a job, but they can’t beat the Navy. Their training is weird and wonderful: it toughens and broadens them and dilutes their original sin. Girls and Petty Officers chase them, policemen protect them. In Central America, the help to quell the most bizarre revolution ever known.
And always the Bodger watches over them. He and his henchmen are veterans of experience and cunning and they all hate cadets…
Everyone who loves a rich, eventful, high-spirited yarn, strikingly “different” and full of laughter, will revel in “We Joined the Navy.” We predict for it an outstanding and enduring popularity.
