US Navy Boot camp!
Recruits remove gas mask to expose themselves to tear gas!
Every American sailor from Admiral to seaman recruit is trained in
shipboard firefighting. Boot camp is no exception
Recruit Training Command (RTC), Great Lakes, Ill, -- Seaman Recruit Joseph Sandiford from Brooklyn, N.Y., sheds tears of pride upon his division’s successful completion of the "Battlestations Drill." This drill is the culmination of 8 weeks of training that puts recruits through arduous physical and mental challenges. The ceremony following the exercise signifies a transformation from civillian recruit to United States Navy Sailor. All recruits must pass this drill before graduating from the U.S. Navy’s boot camp. During the ceremony, they change their uniform ballcaps from "Recruit" to "Navy" which sets them apart from the rest of the junior divisions at the training command.
American Sailors stand by to pass in review for recruit graduation.
