[@daniella8400]

5 days from bootcamp, I’m so nervous and anxious! I can’t wait for this day! Please pray for me this is a dream I’ve always wanted to accomplish!

For a while during my graduation, I thought the only person I invited (my mom) wasn’t there. The drill hall (Navy Grad auditorium) started to empty, and I realized I was about to be alone. Eventually, a hole opened up and there she was, as lost as I was. I ran to her and hugged her as I could and I shed a few tears (didn’t give a damn about who was around me). Those 2 or so minutes became a few months for some of my graduates who didn’t have anyone. I could only imagine what the COVID grads are feeling.

[@idontknowwatname2use]

I was in the training group that had a graduation with no audience. They told us that we would had no audience on the week of graduation. We had to call home and let our family know what was going on.

[@TheSAMIIAN]

I'm extremely proud of my son and very thankful that I was able to attend his graduation division 217. Congratulations to all the new sailors and thank you for serving.

How was it?

[@dennyt7475]

I graduated from Navy boot camp in November of 1965 - Great Lakes naval training center in Chicago Ill, company 575, back then we were called companies. I was 17 years old. None of my family attended, I didn't have a dad, he left us when I was 2 years old, my mom and sister had no money to come to Chicago. After graduation I was stationed on the USS Providence CLG-6 and went straight to Vietnam. I spent 3 tours of duty in Vietnam. I am now 74 and this brings back a lot of memories.

[@nathancarter1971]

[@kingofnothing1433]

So much has changed since my days at Great lakes (1971). Many new uniforms, but it's nice to see the old dress whites. Some people might get the Marines and the army uniforms mixed up, but a sailor in their dress whites is immediately recognized as a sailor. When I went to bootcamp at Great lakes we were called companies, but now their divisions. But perhaps the biggest change since my time in the military is the inclusion of female recruits with the male recruits. Apparently only the training remains the same. Then, as now.
