brings back memories graduated RTC Great Lakes jan 1969 , retired 1998 as BMC
Little has changed since I went through this in 1965. I have always been proud to say I served in the United States Navy. I have a lot of great memories of this.
Very nostalgic. I couldn’t find out from family if they purchased the graduation disc for me to view my graduation, but I’m glad I was able to find it here. Thank you for recording and uploading !
Well this brings back memories......Graduated from Boot Camp in San Diego back in
May 1969. Stayed for 20 years and retired as a Chief. It is not for everyone, but you will learn something for sure out of your enlistment. No regrets and enjoyed the travel.
I am going to my son's on July 12th. He will be carrying on a tradition from my father, brother, and now my son of serving in the Navy. Will be one proud DAD!!!!!!
Went through this very memorable ceremony 10 years ago. Still actively serving. Go Navy!!!
My son arrived 9/18/2014. God Bless all of you!
I was Air Force. This is just amazing! People from all states, island and districts here. We have an awesome Navy!
OMG! 2 weeks and 4 days more.. i will go to Navy Boot Camp!!
edlin kirk so how was your enlistment?
I have been to 2 PIR's and have watched some live streaming. You all bring tears to my eyes. You all do an awesome job and I am proud of each and everyone of our new US Navy Sailors. :-)
I am so proud of seeing the Navy performed since my day is USN, and all the hard they do to become excellent sailors. Thank you for all of your service. Marie Perez
Y'all did an AWESOME job. Will never forget this day. So Proud.
how awesome I graduated from 925 triple threat back in 2000. I was excited to watch this... boot camp wasn't so bad and the rest of my time in the navy I had a blast.
I grad from here in 1985, right around this time of year, end of April. It was so hot in that hangar that guys to the left and right of me were passing out, dropping like flies. It was HELL to simply remain at attention and not wipe sweat off my nose! Good times...
Wow it's almost unreal that I was in that very drill hall for graduation.. One of the greatest days of my life
There are some things I loved about boot camp graduation back in 2003, but seeing this video made me wish we had these things in 2003, but one thing I wish was added was the bugler. This video the drum cadence is awesome, we didn't have symbols to denote the change of maneuvers in the state flags or pass in review. We heard three clunks on the drum with the three bass drums sounding. On the drum measure at the end of the measure, you heard one clunk if it was continuing to repeat until a change in maneuver happened or something halted on the marching. On the color guard, we marched from one end of the drill hall to the reviewing stand marching to Grand Ole Flag and presenting the colors at the reviewing stand. Then march in the direction to the other end of the drill hall. .The bugler made it so awesome to present arms, order arms, call adjutant's call, parade rest, and attention. The biggest thing was during "THE SAILOR'S CREED," the bugler would sound present arms prior to the person saying the sailor's creed. Both are awesome and love watching these graduations on here. These sailors here are on point.
company 199...1981 GM1 Gross Company Commander ...I graduated outside after 8 weeks and then went to the other side of the base for another 4 weeks in ABH school then a two week liberty to see the folks then off to Bremerton Washington to meet the U.S.S Enterprise in the ship yards....first time I seen an air craft carrier in real life....you ever get that weird feeling on the first day of high school after a long summer vacation....butter flies with a cense of dread.....that is what I had
I was a fool for getting out after 4 years. This was an experience that will be with me for
the rest of my life. I was in from 1953 to 1958.
I did 6 years 98-04, and I feel the same way....Most of my buddies that stayed in are close to, or have already hit retirement.
Heading to bootcamp in 1 week, Hooyah! Looking forward to this challenge. Thank you for the vid, it's still being watched even years later ;) Looking forward to being a sharp sailor like the rest of the best. Have a great day!
Good luck and thank you for all you are about to do for our country. We are all proud of you and will keep you in our prayers. HOOYAH!!!!!
I have been there and done it. Graduated in Jan 1996 great lakes. It is awesome and do it all the way. AT1 Spence
Congratulations! (its never too late) and good luck to the rest of you! Believe in yourself, you too can achieve your goals!
Went through it in 1999, and 005 was the only division to have all of the pennants with honors during the Pass-in-Review ceremonies
I joined the Naval Reserve in 1967 went active in 1968, but didn't go to Great Lakes, I went to Orlando, Fl then to Great Lake's for Gunnery School, Caught Hell from the Chief every time I turned around. couldn't seem to get anything right but was always at the top of my class, seems my Dad a BMCM also stationed at GL at the same time I was, was good friends with the Chief and was feeding dirty jobs for me, My Dad retired in 1975 with 30 yrs and I retired in 1998 with 30 as a GMCS
Hey Senior Chief, since you was a gunnersmate, did you ever serve on a Iowa class? BB-61 was my first ship.
I'm so sorry I could not make it there in person...Thank you to the person who posted this video... I am so thankful you did. Because this mom got to see her son graduate basic...Go Navy
went rtc great lakes October 1964 .graduated January 1965.retired from the navy January 1986 as a CM-1
I graduated from Navy basic training at Great Lakes, Ill. in 1980. I hope that each and every new graduate has a great career in the U.S. Navy. I served at 32nd Street Naval Base, San Diego. Machinest Mate 3rd Class.
Ours was good, but this is a much cooler ceremony than we had back in 1977.
You wouldn't believe how much hard work we put into marching. DIV264 07/2013!
Man I loved it recruit Training Center San Diego 1988 San Dog
JULY 12, 2013 my fiancee graduates from bootcamp soooo excited. GO NAVY!!!!!
my son just shipped out today for rtc at the GL base ... proud of him just gonna miss him
Graduated from Company 084 at Great Lakes RTC back in the day when Boot Camp was almost 10 weeks long and we carried rifles and slept in steel "racks" guess things change especially seeing women at Great Lakes!
I graduated from RTC Great Lakes in January of 97 (can't remember the exact date) however, my division number was 088 :-)
The longest graduation I ever attended
I graduated Nov of 2005 on my birthday..I had just turned 21
Nice Ceremony in a huge building! But I miss San Diego Graduation Ceremonies, with Recruits passing out in the sun & firing the 5" guns when an Admiral attended. This ceremony was more intimate, sound traveled well in the building. I like at the end when family & friends go down onto the parade ground, it filled the space fast.
I noticed they started with Div. 363. I graduated U.S. Navy bootcamp in Great Lakes (probably the same hanger bay) back in October of 1989. They are using the term "Division"now apparently....our units were called "Company". I was in Company 342. When we said "Division", it referred to our barracks (two story building that housed 4 Companies). I was in Division 13.
It is now Ships and Divisions. Ships is the Building Section, and Division is the sleeping barrack inside. Usually 2 brother divisions in each graduating class. Can not remember how many divisions a ship holds, but there is usually one set of brother divisions graduating out of a ship. There are 14 ships now. But not always 14 ships graduating each week. Usually only 9-14 divisions. Graduating. :-)
When I went through in Aug, 1970, they were Companies, Battalions & Regiments...4 companies per floor, each floor being a being a battalion and the 3 story "H" shaped building being the regiment. I was in Co. 333, 17th Battalion, 1st Regiment. We were Hall of Fame Company (first HoF company in 3 years). When we PIR, the first SEVERAL ranks could not be seen because of the flags (14 awarded flags with banners (awarded total of 35 flags, so lots of banners), Company Flag & Personal Company Flag. We had a Company Commander (SM1 John W. Hancock).
I also noticed that the flag guards appear to be carrying different rifles than the honor guard. I think the former had M-1 Garands, while the latter had 1917 Springfields. I think the Springfield is lighter and so would be easier for the acrobatics portion of their "show". Still not easy, especially for those who have to practice in their spare time, which recruits have very little of.
Good Job!
My ship out date is 20150506 I'm excited and nervous all in the same breath.
Co 252 Oct 29 1982 was our Graduation day WOW going on 31 years time flies

HOOYAH I was part of this graduation. DIV 823. Memories=)
jeffrey Cruz you were spec ops?
I like and appreciate the United States military ceremony! Solemn attention to every detail.
Congratulations. Navy graduate! You are now member of the US Navy Team.
No Anchors Aweigh March at the end....geesh. It's not the same without it. Go back and look at older graduations and you'll see what I mean. Company 139 - Color Company - July 1990.
God bless America!!!
Went to Great Lakes RTC in 1994, Div 2. Company 144.
My big brother graduated from that same hall 5 years ago...
Wonderful organization
Hey if anybody knows what song that’s plays at the beginning of this video, can you let me know, because I’ve had a hard time finding it.
Its different watching it than actually experiencing it. All I did was stand at parades rest and attention.
so proud of the navy
20150505 LS. I cannot wait for this day.
Heading to bootcamp tomorrow! So excited!
My daughter shipped on May 15! She'll be graduating 7/12 too!
So excited to go to bootcamp
What's the song @45:27? I know part of it is America the Beautiful
I forgot about the canons with the Admirals. You know guys, he's not dead :). 2002 - 186.
The memories!
Division 365 right here AYYYYYYYYY !!! 12:30 that’s me bottom left
“I, ...., having been appointed a (rank) in the United States Air Force, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the office upon which I am about to enter. So help me God.”
The Navy Hymn, "Eternal Father".
I think an indoor graduation parade is kinda ... well inappropriate. They sailors may find themselves on the deck of a carrier, with a 30+ knot wind blowing the rain and spray over the deck, while servicing aircraft.
AF doesn't go indoors at Lackland, even in the Texas Summer heat.
I did mine 2 July 1994. Seems like a million years ago...
I ship out May 22nd! Can't wait!!
Me too. I am so very very Proud of them all. :-)
same place I graduted in January 1965
You're just a young nipper stapper. I went through AFROTC field training in summer of '71, and after 2 more years was commissioned in May of 1973. 40 years ago, last week as matter of fact.
Common ceremony for all services, but we took the oath of office by service, even though the oath is the same for all the services.
i will be there next week for my son who is graduating, he is going into sub's
how far is the drive from indep, mo to great lakes, il
This was the week after my graduation.
Going on 20140916 cant wait !!!!!
Last week just swore in and was told I'm leaving on 20140915. See you there.

Excellent Job.
AH MEMORIES ! I GRADUATED GREAT LAKES 1961 !!!
BOOTERS I was on deployment when this was filmed....
They are all laid out the same way
8 weeks of summer camp.
I was in a 900 company and in the drill team...we were a lot better in 1993.
THank you for your service Roger. :-)
ha!! and the rest of us in the triple threat were all lounging in the back waiting to come out!!! ah good times!!!
can't wait
Y'all did a GREAT job.
Well most Navy jobs are indoor jobs except for the small percentage you mentioned. 5000 on a carrier and only a few hundred work on deck.
Y'all did an awesome job. Enjoyed it all. :-)
I was there. Division 902 State Flags. I was Idaho.
I wish I knew too.
My son was Division 367. I also run a FB group for the families of 09NOV12 PIR. :-)
Why in the world did you have to carry your raincoats? Parade rest with raincoats on your arms is tiring as hell.
How do you stand still like that for so long? Doesn't it get tiring?
Great Lakes, Co. 381, 1964...not a fun or easy 13 weeks.
Today's boot camp is more of a "mitten" camp. And yes, what happened to the rifles?
You're right
Can someone please tell me what happens if u dont pass bootcamp??
If you don't pass you won't be in whatever branch you were joining if you want to try again you'd have to wait for the next class to ship off
so is it 13 weeks or 8 weeks of boot camp ?
Jesse, believe me when I say this, I believe you. I believe you. lol
Hooyah!!!!
50:00 Is this a naval academy ceremony or a Broadway show?
Neither...
1:00:20 this dude from Compton shittt
Bootcamp is now 8 weeks.
Watching the drill team, bugs me WAAAAY more than it should
