Their other studies include Morse code, air forces, flags of all nations, ground forces, physics, naval forces, meteorology, photography, maps and charts, communication, procedure, cryptography, and target identification. They are also taught military discipline and the proper ways of safeguarding military information. They spend five hours each day in these classes with new classes coming in every three weeks. Their military training consists of 45 minutes each day spent in close order drill and inspections each Saturday.
