INTRODUCTION


The keel is the first part of a ship to be constructed. "Laying the keel," a high- light in shipbuilding, is the first step in transforming a set of plans and a body of materials into an integrated, useful structure. The keel is the basic unit of a ship's hull, serving as a foundation while the ship is being built and giving strength and sup-


port to the finished product.


Recruit training might be called the keel of a man's career in the Navy. Just as laying the keel is the first step in transforming materials into a finished ship, so re- cruit training transforms the civilian into the Bluejacket. Recruit training serves as a foundation for a man's Naval career in the same sense that the keel serves as a foundation for the ship. And as the keel gives strength and support to the finished ship, the skills a recruit learns during his first few weeks in the Navy will support him throughout his Naval career.

HISTORY


THE NAVAL TRAINING CENTER, Great Lakes, Illinois, had its start in 1904 when a board ap- pointed by President Theodore Roosevelt selected two adjoin- ing farms north of Lake Bluff, Illinois, as a site for a naval training station.


The Merchants' Club of Chi- cago purchased the farms and presented them as a gift to the government from the people of Chicago. Six years of construction followed,


and on July 1, 1911, the Station was commissioned. Four months later it was dedicated as a Station by Presi- dent William Howard Taft. At that time it covered 172 acres and had a capacity of 1,500 men.


The Station's size remained constant until the be- ginning of the first World War, when a wartime ex- pansion program took place. By Armistice Day, 1918, the Station had expanded to 1,200 acres and had 45,000 men undergoing training. A quarter of a mil- lion men were trained at Great Lakes during World War I.


At


one time recruit companies held mock rifle battles on Ross Field.


During the period between wars the Station's activity was greatly decreased. It was complete- ly closed down as a training activity from June 30, 1933, to July 29, 1935. When President Roosevelt proclaimed a national emergency on September 9, 1939, the total population at Great Lakes was less than 1,000.


July 26, 1940, marked the beginning of a construction program which was to become the most extensive in Station history. Great Lakes' capacity was in- creased to 14,000 by the day Japan struck at Pearl Harbor.


With America's entry into World War II, a tremendous increase in con- struction was authorized. More than 10,000 civilians were employed in the program, expanding the Station's capac- ity to 82,000 men by September, 1942. In this expansion the Station's area was increased by more than a thousand acres.


At its wartime peak, Great Lakes had a crowded capacity of 100,000 men. More than a million Bluejackets, almost a third of the men in the wartime fleet, were trained at Great Lakes during the war.


On March 28, 1944, the Secretary of the Navy established the Training Station as a group command and redesignated it the U. S. Naval Training Center, Great Lakes, Illinois. The Center has four subordinate commands: the Marine Barracks, and the Administrative, Service School, and Re- cruit Training commands.


In peacetime Great Lakes remains the world's largest naval training center and one of our Navy's most important establish- ments.


Building 1 of the Center is the headquar- ters of the Commandant, Ninth Naval Dis- trict, who has general supervision over Naval activities within the district's 13 states. One of the most important functions of the Commandant is the administration of the district's civilian Naval Reserve.


Two recent additions to the Center are the Naval Supply Depot, which is becoming one of the Navy's large centers of supply distribution, and the Navy Medical Research Unit, located in Camp Green Bay, which is conducting research in respiratory diseases and rheumatic fever.


A Naval Hospital, also located at Great Lakes, has complete facilities for maintaining the Navy's high


Seabag inspections have changed very little since this picture was taken. Recruits now sleep in bunks instead of hammocks, however, and wear their ratings on their sleeves instead of their cuffs. Com- pany commanders no longer wear leggings.


The Naval Training Center is located on the shore of Lake Michigan.


standards of physical efficiency. Here treatment is giv- en to patients of all the armed forces. Servicemen's dependents also are given medical treatment in the hospital's Dependents' Care Department.


Another activity of the Naval Hospital is the Hospi- tal Corps School, where future corpsmen learn the skills needed in their work during an intensive 16- week course.


The Marine Barracks is charged with general dis- ciplinary and security controls. This command also carries out a Marine training program. There are

usually about 700 Marines stationed at the Center, although their num- ber varies with the training sched- ule.


The Administrative Command, which occupies most of the original training station, is the nerve-center of Great Lakes. It handles the phys- ical maintenance and overall admin- istration of the entire Center.


The Service School Command is made up of six Navy trade schools, where Bluejackets are trained for some of the highly technical jobs in the Navy. The schools' courses range in length from 12 weeks at the Journalist School to 42 weeks at the Electronics Technicians School.


Other units in this command are the Electrician's Mates, Interior Communications, Enginemen, and Machinist's Mates schools. Equip- ped to provide practical experience as well as classroom instruction, the schools admit only especially se- lected men. Many students enter immediately after completing their recruit training.


There are two other schools at Great Lakes which train Dental Technicians and Hospital Corps- men.


The largest of the four commands at Great Lakes is the Recruit Train- ing Command. More than half the men entering the Navy receive their first training here. Great Lakes is also the home of the Navy's only

Men going through recruit training are prepared both physically and mentally to take their place in the Navy. They receive instruction touching on almost every phase of Navy life, from the proper method of rolling a uniform to techniques used in fighting fires.


In the course of his training the recruit receives both a basic indoctrination in the many skills he will need as a Bluejacket and a broad picture of the entire Navy,


its history, traditions, and customs.


Physical training, inoculation against diseases, and training in first aid, physical hygiene, and related sub- jects form another major part of the recruit training program. Coupled with wholesome food and the active and healthful environment of the training camps, this program results in a noticeable improvement in the physical condition of most recruits.


A sharp break between civilian and Navy life, recruit training is the basic element in any man's time in the Naval service. It is the keel of a career in your Navy.


TRAINING


Ready to begin their Navy life, recruits enter the Receiving Unit. After haircuts, physical examina- tions, and inoculations, they will be issued uniforms and assigned to a company.

Feeding the large numbers of men taking training at Great Lakes and keeping the training camps in good condition involves a lot of work. In the Navy such jobs as kitchen police are done on a full-time rather than part-time basis so that they will


not interfere with the recruits' regular activities. Each company's training sched- ule is stopped for one week as the company takes over the routine work of its regiment. This is known as "Service Week," and is the week when most recruits work the hardest.

During the war recruits at Great Lakes learned about gunnery from target fire with Navy guns set up on the shore of Lake Michigan. In peacetime, Bluejack- ets can get practical experience with guns after they get to sea, so in recruit training the underlying prin- ciples of ordnance and gunnery are stressed more than actual firing.

Firing is done from several positions. The company is divided into pairs; one man acts as coach while the other shoots.


A day at the Fire Fighters Training Unit teaches recruits the methods used in ex- tinguishing all types of fire that might be encountered aboard ships. With actual ex- perience in battling these blazes, the re- cruit learns that fire at sea, although dan- gerous, can normally be brought under control by employing the proper fire fight- ing techniques.

"Foam," produced by mixing chemi- cals with water, is highly effective against some types of fires.


The spray from the special Navy nozzles protects the fire fighters while it puts out the fire.


Forming into squads, the trainees change positions after each fire so that each man has a chance to be nozzleman part of the time.


Burns are rare, but everyone is well coated with soot after a day of fire-fighting.
