What is the Sailorization process?

The Sailorization process refers to the transition of civilians into Navy military culture. It encompasses a series of steps and training programs designed to acclimate individuals who have not previously served in the military to the customs, values, and operational norms of Navy life. This process helps ensure that new recruits understand what it means to be a sailor, including the expectations of discipline, teamwork, and commitment that are fundamental to military service.

Each participant learns about the Navy's mission, history, and the specific roles they will serve, facilitating a smoother integration into the military environment. By focusing on this adaptation, the Navy builds a cohesive force composed of individuals who share a common understanding and commitment to the Navy's objectives and values.
