51 years ago today, Arliss James, a North Carolina mountain man, enlisted in the U S Navy. Arriving at Great Lakes Naval Training Center for induction, he and all the recruits were issued combs, and then had all their hair shaved off by navy barbers.
The second day, James was issued a toothbrush, and then promptly had his four wisdom teeth removed.
The third day, James was issued a jockstrap.
The Navy has been looking for Arliss James for the last 51 years.
