The IL/WI NDIA Chapter and members have been invited to a Naval Station Great Lakes Recruit Graduation. Come witness the final stage of transformation from civilian to into highly skilled, technically proficient, disciplined and motivated Sailors that defend our country.

From its Founding in 1911, Naval Station Great Lakes has maintained its position as the Navy’s largest training facility with more than 25,000 military and civilian personnel working, training, and living here. The current Recruit Training Command is under-going a dramatic recapitalization program that has created a premiere training environment that is unmatched. Millions of dollars have been spent on modern barracks, dining facilities, classrooms and office buildings. Fifteen service schools are sited at Great Lakes. All Navy recruits are now trained here, both men and women. Naval Station Great Lakes truly is a place of challenge and excitement.
