No More "Sailor in a Box" - From RTC- Posted 5 Sept 2019


Attention families and friends of RTC: Previously, upon arrival to boot camp, recruits would box up their civilian belongings and ship it to their choice of destination. Our new procedure now has those boxes being stored locally and will be returned to the recruits the day before graduation. The new procedure went into effect this week beginning with Div. 409 in Training Group 52.

We talk about Holiday Routine at Boot Camp - here's the skinny

Sunday/Holiday Routine allows recruits to attend religious services and observe Federal holidays. From 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. recruits are able to: attend religious services, read and study, hygiene, perform uniform upkeep, write and read letters, or clean their rack and personal locker.

Important RTC/PIR Changes

RTC is making important changes to polices regarding PIR Guest Access as well as Bag Checks and Restriction Policies. Take the time to read thru these and be prepared when you head to Great Lakes for PIR.

Comment by Mark Andreatta on August 10, 2015 at 11:10pm

Got a letter from my recruit.  He is in Division 299 ship 06.  He said he scored 100% on his first inspection.  We have only received a couple of letters and one phone call so far.  He seems to be doing well.  He said he had the "Smartass Division"  but that he is seeing a lot of improvement and that it was a good bunch of guys and that he feels like that are going to be a very strong unit by the end of the training.  The only thing he has really complained about is that he misses his dog and wishes he that she could be there. Funny!

Congratulations to this week’s winners of Captain’s Cup!

Div. 816 took top honors in the non-integrated divisions while Div. 259 triumphed in the integrated divisions.

Captain’s Cup is a fun, friendly athletic event held on the Saturday before graduation. The divisions that are set to graduate later in the week get a free morning to kick back and enjoy some fun competition between the divisions in their training group. It’s like recess for recruits.

Events include basketball, volleyball, relay races, tug-of-war, sit-ups, push-ups and more. There is a winning division for the non-integrated (all-male) divisions, and one winning division in the integrated (male/female) divisions.

Each winning division receives a traveling trophy to display in their ship as well as a Captain’s Cup flag that they will carry and display during graduation.

Captain’s Cup gives the recruits the opportunity to display their athleticism they have built up during boot camp.
