Went to Radioman “A” school in the Navy back in 1969 at the now defunct Naval Training Center in San Diego. Learned CW (Morse Code) and got to the fleet and never used it! Can still remember some of the letters!

Sad. How will anyone know what they’re saying at the beginning of RKO Radio Pictures?
Pet peeve! That's someTHING of a revival.

LOL!!
So the military will not be able to interpret a code used by American civilians like a second language? Won’t be the case, most patriotic military will take it upon themselves to master this basic survival tool.
I joined the Navy in 1988, and was sent to cyptologic technican, techanical school at NTTC Corry Station, Pensacola, FL. I arrived in January of 1989, after boot camp, and went on to learn morse code there. I then did the advanced operator course, and got multiple NEC’s from both “A” school and “C” school there.
I remember some of it, but some of it is forgotten in the mists of history.
THAT's IT! I've been looking all over for an example of it.
Where did you find it?
I Googled “navy morse trainer” and there it was.
But I cheated a bit. I own one of these neat little gadgets, so I knew what I was looking for!
We are so screwed.
sorry, ‘something of a revival’. I’m normally big on grammar myself, but was typing that pretty quick, and missed it. Thanks for the note.
It’s been around a long time.
In “The Gay Divorcee” (1934), Fred Astaire says, “You’re somewhat of an igneous intrusion, yourself.”
Fortunately, it comes in the final scene, so it doesn’t ruin the whole movie.
