<p>According to my son, who shipped out on July 1, yes, RTC Great Lakes was putting recruits in a 14 day quarantine period if they were not vaccinated. It was part of his scripted call home upon arrival at RTC, that he would be quarantined if he could not provide proof of vaccination. His recruiter also told him of the 14 day quarantine.

<p>According to my son, who shipped out on July 1, yes, RTC Great Lakes was putting recruits in a 14 day quarantine period if they were not vaccinated. It was part of his scripted call home upon arrival at RTC, that he would be quarantined if he could not provide proof of vaccination. His recruiter also told him of the 14 day quarantine. I don't think the DOD directive applies if they have not entered boot camp because their active duty/reserve date starts on the first day of boot camp. Recruits receive lots of vaccines at boot camp and am sure covid vaccine is one of them if unvaccinated. Again, not sure, of current policy, just sharing my son's experience, but yes there were recruits showing up unvaccinated, along with guests for graduation who were denied entry because they were not vaccinated. At graduation, EVERYONE wore face mask, even recruits and the social distancing rule was in effect (but not strictly enforced because there just wasn't enough room).</p>

Otherwise divisions will form on the first Monday after arrival and expect a scripted phone call on the first day in Great Lakes RTC, then a letter with anticipated graduation date. Another later letter will be sent inviting 2 guests for Pass in Review, requiring vaccination and security information. My son graduated September 3, 2021 with a class of 861 graduates and saw a lot of guests being turned away due to non-vaccination proof or brought more than two guests.</p>
