THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
Naval radio operators were trained in the Naval Radio School in
Braila prior to 1946; but in the summer of 1946 this school
was disbanded, and since then'I have never heard of any special
naval radio school in Rumania.
29 After the Naval Radio School was disbanded, all naval radio
operators' training was given "on the iob" ie, at the different`
naval communication units. This training was a considerably
reduced-program, compared to the four year, elaborate course
of study f ormerly-offered'to naval radio operators at the
Braila'Naval Radio School. The three month training course
was given w1,11e the sailors here on active duty, and consisted
of transmission and reception procedure, and these only in Morse code?
3. The signals and operational methods were taught after the
radio operators had been assigned to their respective radio
stations. I believe that the equipment used in the preliminary
three'month training period was the same type as that used at
the Braila Naval Radio School.
Zt,
the majority of students had volunteered for the course and were
eager to study. In general, they made good progress at school,
and only two, from approximately )40, were dismissed for lack
of application to their work.
Most students, did not favor Communism, and, to
the contrary, many were rather anti-Communistic in thd7ir
attitude.
