Ship's boy school

The only military school open to minors, the ship's boy school trains young people between 16 and 17 to join French National Navy in various skills as maneuvers, technicians, cooks even marines. This navy training started  just 200 years ago and some sailors have been able to climb the ladder up to be Admiral like Jean-Bernard Cerutti.
