JMSDF Officer Candidate School
This is an educational institution for training senior officers of the Maritime Self-Defense Force. It trains students to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to perform their duties as junior officers. It is located in the Etajima area (Kunitachi, Etajima-cho, Etajima City, Hiroshima Prefecture).
Together with the Maritime Self-Defense Force’s 1st Technical School, the main facilities of the Naval Academy, which was an educational institution for the purpose of training officers of the Imperial Japanese Navy, are being used.
It is commonly referred to as a red brick building because of its location on Etajima and the school’s building.
Approximately 150 general cadets (half of whom graduated from National Defense Academy (Course I) and half of whom graduated from General University (Course II), etc.), flight cadets who were aviation students, general cadets selected from among sergeants serving in units of the Maritime Self-Defense Force (within the department), prospective cadets selected from among associate lieutenants and chief petty officers, and the National Defense Medical College. It educates medical and dental nursing cadets from schools and general medical and dental colleges. The period of education varies according to the course. The longest course for the general cadets is one year, and the medical and dental nursing cadet course lasts for 6 weeks. After graduation, the cadets are commissioned as third lieutenants (second lieutenants for postgraduate and medical and dental cadets).
It is said that the Naval Academy’s tradition of using the Naval Academy’s student house as a part of the school building and holding the “Cutter” competition, which is a competition between squads, has been preserved. Based on the lessons learned in the old Navy, the General Officer Candidate Course is composed of a mixture of graduates from the National Defense Academy (15 students in Course I) and graduates from universities (15 students in Course II) to emphasize cooperation during the same period. General education is conducted separately for Course I and Course II.
It is said to be one of the most strictly disciplined in the SDF, and is sometimes referred to as a ‘crazy tribe’.
The U.S. Navy has also sent a liaison officer (as of 2019, a Navy Major).
About World Vintage Films
I’m doing a Youtube video of footage taken from the 1910s to the 1980s.
The footage is original and was filmed by my family and my friends while they were traveling.
That’s why most of the footage was shot in Japan.
The first step in the editing process is to convert the video from analog to digital. Then I remove the unnecessary parts and add the original music and subtitles. We don’t want to hide the footage, so we don’t have many subtitles.
Black and white footage may be converted to color.
International and domestic travel around the world, before, during and after the war.
We have over 10,000 films that have not yet been released to the public. We will continue to edit and distribute a few more in the future.
There is a lot of valuable footage. Especially rare are old footage from less developed countries. At that time, the equipment for filming was rare. Pre-war footage of Japan is also valuable. Old cars and trains. There is also footage of airplanes shot from the sky. Towns and markets, and people. And people. Famous tourist spots and natural scenery. The fashion sense is also interesting and different from today. Enjoy the scenery in the old style.
Mostly on 8mm, 16mm, 9.5mm, 35mm, etc. Newer types of video, such as VHS, are not covered.
