The mission of recruit training at Great Lakes has varied little since its early days, but the facil- ities and the techniques have changed significantly over the years at Great Lakes to meet constantly changing needs. The original thirty-nine building complex pro- vided facilities for 600 recruits undergoing sixteen weeks of training. More than 125,000 World War l sailors began service in the Navy at Great Lakes. Emergency build-ups brought the number of buildings to 775 with a capacity of 50,000 men on a twelve-week training schedule. Depression years saw Great Lakes at a stand- still, but World War ll saw a rapid expansion pro- gram to relieve strained facilities. A growth to almost 1,000 buildings was able to handle a peak on- board count of 67,000 recruits as Great Lakes trained almost 1,000,000 men for the fleet. At one point, the demand for more men was so great that the training curriculum was a highly-accelerated three weeks. The normal post-war recruit population has been 10,000 with significant increases during the Korean and Vietnam conflicts. Women for the regular Navy trained at Great Lakes from 1948 to 1957, taking a ten-week WAVE training course. Two-week and nine-week ready reserves have taken basic training at Great Lakes since 1950. The staff under normal conditions is made up of fifty officers and 650 enlisted personnel to train 60,000 recruits annually.
