The establishment of a Naval Training Station on the Great Lakes was first considered in 1902. Thirty-seven sites were considered with the present location, 40 miles north of Chicago, being favored. The area was selected because nearly half of the Navy recruits were recruited from the Midwest and because Chicago was then, and remains the transportation center of the area. In 1911, Recruit Training Command received its first trainee, Seaman Recruit Joseph W. Gregg. More than 100,000 men trained at Great Lakes during World War 1, Lieutenant Commander John Philip Sousa left his civilian concert band and trained musicians here. Great Lakes was closed down for a few years during the Depression, but sprang to life again in 1935, training nearly one million men during World War 11 Recruit Training Command, with a staff of 50 officers and more than 900 enlisted men and women conduct a nine week course in basic military orientation for approximately 50,000 recruits annually. Training for new recruits includes fire- fighting and damage control, seamanship and line-handling, physical readiness, military discipline, military drill, survival at sea, and general military training. Since 1911, Recruit Training Command has been preparing young men and women to be able-bodied sailors. Through the years, significant changes have occurred in the curriculum of the instruction and in the commands facilities, but the , mission of Recruit Training Command has remained virtually the same: to transform recruit trainees into enlisted apprentice sailors in support of fleet requirements.
