Ens. David Robinson, the National Basketball Assn.’s top draft choice, reported Thursday to the U.S. Naval Submarine Base here to begin serving a two-year military commitment in the Navy’s Civil Engineer Corps.

Robinson, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, will be playing in the Pan American Games later this month, but his commanding officer, Capt. Kent Riffey, said: “We haven’t talked about basketball yet. Besides, I’m more interested in building a submarine base than in starting a basketball team.”
