Arrived here by bus which was nice. They took my stuff and yelled at me alot. The food was better than I expected. They also gave me free stuff like this cool white hat. Wouldnt come here again but a good 1st time experience.

Just graduated finest training around this area if your ever in town I recommend staying at this facility for a while you won't regret it.

Great vacation! Free food, they pay you to stay there and free lodging!!! Pretty mean staff though, I found myself get yelled out quite often but hey at least they pay you!!!

Love seeing recruits graduate from boot camp. No matter what your status is; active or retired, if you're a visitor, you have to be invited and have a ticket to get on the RTC. If you have someone graduating from boot camp, go to main navy Exchange first to get your ticket. Arrive before 6 pm since they close early. Or just wake up early on the day of pass and review. If you're not familiar with the gate entrance, follow the cars creating traffic. It is because they are waiting to enter the gate.

We attended a graduation ceremony for our son last week. Wonderful ceremony. Thank you to all the staff and command at US Navy Great Lakes RTC!

My brother Naval Ceremony

Awesome place. I was blown away.

Thank you for producing great sailors for our beloved United States of America. God bless the US Navy.

Large, clean and organized facilty.

My 3 Boys just Graduated Boot Camp

Navy graduation rocked.

This was hands down the best boot camp graduation I'd ever attended.

I graduated from Great Lakes September of 1990, good memories 🎖🏅🇺🇸 USNR...

I thoroughly enjoyed my son's graduation from boot camp!

My son graduated yesterday, this was a amazing experience for him and us!

For decades RTC Great Lakes has developed the world's finest sailors. It was an honor watching this class of new sailors graduate. Hooyah Navy!

It was great! We enjoyed ourselves while our son graduated July 15th 2022 Navy boot camp!

Attended my grandson's graduation from basic training. I was impressed by the changes that my grandson had undergone in the 10 weeks that he was there. Slimed up, developed a "6" pack and was ready for his next duty station. The officers and enlisted staff are to be commended for excellent troops that they turn out.

Fantastic ceremony was so wonderful to watch my son and the other divisions graduate after such hard work

Great place to create a sailor

I had a great time at my son's graduation. Keep up the good work to all

My son Graduation from Boot camp. Was a Great time. I'm Retired Navy. Also, Attend Boot camp at Navy RTC GL

Saw my son graduate awesome experience I highly recommend you come to this facility for you son or daughter. Go Navy!

Getting ready to see my granddaughter Jordan graduate from the Navy We are Proud of our Granddaughter

Thank you for doing a great job of turning Young men and ladies into United States Navy sailors

came for a graduation. easy to follow instructions and to get to parking. the traffic getting in was a mess but handled best possible way. after graduation used the train right out the gate to go to Chicago. very easy to access. if ticket booth is closed have cash for the conductor to get your ticket "no cards". great visit.

Pretty great, got set back twice in training. Great people, great training, bit too much tuna in the galley.

This is a place where I attended when I joined the Navy and I also had the chance to see my son pass through this same place, the show is a treat.

Everything was so well organized. Loved it.

I was there almost 50 years ago as a graduating recruit. My grandson graduated today. What a change, everything looks so new. Graduation couldn't have been any better.

Best time of my life. Wish I could reenlist. Too many health issues these days. Dearly miss the old NRTC Great Lakes.

Fun place to send the kids for camp…. They learn lots of cool Things and come back with manners! Definitely gonna send my other kids to camp as well. Also it is cold AF in February so dress accordingly. Semper Fi!

Navy Graduation was awesome! However, extremely cold if attending during winter months. Also, very difficult to find your sailor after graduation.

Was so Awesome to Have this chance in life to actually go somewhere away from home, for got to see my one and only so Graduate from there.

Lots of walking and easy to get turned around

My son graduated here I'll always remember this place

Graduation was fantastic! The admins were very informative! Everything you need to know is in the files! 👍🏼

One of the best times in my life. Division 011. 2011 October-December.God Bless the USA!

Great place

Great store with great staff. Easy to locate items and always well stocked.

Beautiful training center. It was an honor to be able to see a graduation ceremony of our nation's newest sailors.

Beautiful ceremony and quite the experience if you get the chance to visit a loved one graduate

First class graduation ceremony! Glorified crossing guard didn't need to YELL at my wife for stepping in the grass near the nex afterwards.

Super fantastic

I work there

What's not to love...go Navy

The graduation ceremony was spectacular.

Did my boot here in Sept/Nov 1985. Navy Proud!

Ok

My experience was as interesting as can be. Had great RDC’s. If I had a chance to do it again. I would. I’d nail it too 🙌🏻 (but Covid sucks.)

These people turned my son inside out, stripped him down and made him into a new young man! He's now part of the Family Business!

Awesome graduation day!

My sons graduation

A very nice experience.
