I only been in that Galley once. And that was 9/11/01 for lunch because they kicked all of the civilians off base and all that was left was the military personnel cause everything was closed. Very strange not seeing the very old Green Glass Gun School in front of the galley. So much has changed. The only real thing I noticed that was still there was the track, galley, and the navy fed.

Weather wise... I am quite impressed with the improvements!

They were just beginning that contruction when I left in 97 to C school. 17 months in that hell hole... there are really 3 months year there that doesnt suck balls...

Looks like Disney World compared to what it did back in 1986.

slick Willie likes em young

U guys have it made. They didn't have half that stuff when l was in.

Hang in there Bootcamp you are on your way to the Greatest Adventure of your life! I was a instructor at RTC GL's, made Chief there in '90, alot has changed mostly for the better! Chief on the side, your side!!

I went to corps school when it was still there and our runs took us all over naval station great lakes. I remember a huge hill by where you were at the lake we used to sprint up. Brutal pt for navy standards. And it was every day, red flag, black flag, our instructors DID NOT CARE lol

Was there for about a year for A school. I played so much football on that field

Gas was cheap when Trump was President! 🇺🇸

Is this the place where Bootcamp is at or is this where A school is?

I’m amazed with the NEX store wow!!! They have everything!!

Is there a marine detachment on base?

Holy shit you sailors got it made in the shade these days. 2005-2009 that base looked the almost the same hit the barracks wtf is that a 4 star hotel now. I stayed I stayed in the old “Essex” barracks so seeing those new ones is wild.

Bruh! Good to see you!

went there FTG school in 1976 and boot

My bf is currently in rtc there and will also be boarding there after. Thank you so much for showing us around and all the good info!

Great Lakes is actually where I got my first smartphone

I was stationed at Great Lakes when I got out of the Navy back in 2012. I was 23 so it was pretty cool cause I got drunk a bunch

You didn’t go to the old Corpsman Side to give us all PTSD 😅 I was roomed up in the ghetto ass 129 barracks. Our fun was Parcheezi’s/aka Sleezy Cheezys. Loved the awesome friends and memories we made. Still talk over a decade later. I completely forgot about Samuel Adams Brewery. 🍻

was stationed at Marine Barracks Great Lakes 1965 - 1966 ,was a great duty station , lots of fun ! Marines ran the Brig , after two years out of Camp Lejuene ,NC ,with FMF , Two cruises ,Great Lakes was like a vacation !!

You’re complaining about $2.21? Where have you been? A cave?

I remember the initial lines! Your mommy isnt here!😀😀😀😀😀😀

When I was there I called it great mistakes

I was stationed there 84 thru 88. Loved it.

Thanks Chris , a walk down memory lane for me - refreshing. I'd do it again , but better . Hope you can do the whole tour, get that rank , job skills and retirement check//high adventure to you good luck..

Very cool thanks! Looks so much different than when I was stationed there 30 years ago

We’re you not allowed to film? Your camera work was hard to see anything

I work on this base 😮

This was where I did my boot camp in 93 from April to June

Chris< you didnt show mcdonalds restaurant inside the Base

How is there a queen size bed tho ?

Dang them products is out it ain’t caged no nothing😭💀✋🏽

A dude wearing a pink skirt doesn't help.

way diffrent than when i was there in 1989

A PINK skirt REALLY?! COME ON!

'04 alumni out of corps school. Id give just about anything to own one of those bad ass homes next to the old theater. Brought back a lot of old memories, and glad to see Navy kept renovating the place. Oh yeah, that beach didn't have sand while I was there, only a bunch of dark pebbles.

I was there in 2007 - 2008. I wonder if the USS Essex is still there. Thats my old barracks

was there in 1971 color company 257 it was like full metal jacket not that sissy shit they do now!

Major nostalgia bro. Thank you so much for the video. As shitty as it was at the time I truly miss it. I’m a Seabee now. 3rd class Petty Officer. I definitely plan on taking a trip back to TSC with my girl and my daughter to re live the memories when I was there for A-School as a perspective ET. I was huge into skateboarding and me and my buddies would always go to Chicago and skate.

Boorda Hall looks nice... never existed when I was there 80 to 82... it was Snipes Castle back then.

can you get rooms like these during A school or did you get a nice room like that because you were in a special situation?

Who remembers the Ron Rick Motel? #1 place my RDC’s said to stay away from. Everything looks different AF except for the NEX & the old medical clinic. Recruit Division 546 Ship 06 here, year 2000! Is Captain Gaant still the CO of RTC???

I miss Naval Great Lakes 🙌🏻 I stayed in the barracks right across from the outside track !

No seatbelt?

This was very interesting I had passed all my tests with the Navy recruiters and everything and was planning on going in and then I wound up having a woman on the cell phone wind up rear-ending my car at a red light and wound up fracturing my spine and that pretty much put an end to that dream. but if I'd gone in like I wanted to living in Ohio great lakes training center is where I would have gone it's all really sorry that I wound up not being able to do that was very disappointed and I truly enjoyed the video.

Sorry to say that the only part of the base that I recognized in your entire footage was the tower. A hell of a lot has changed since 1988, especially the complete absence of the "Green House" gun school, demolished several years ago. :(

Which camp? Moffet, Dewey?

What***
