Navy Boot Camp San Diego, Side One

Navy boot camp in sound and pictures...
Millions of men went through Recruit Training Command, Naval Training Center, San Diego, California, from 1923 until 1997, when the base was closed.
Jostens, Inc., produced and Rainbo Records manufactured this featured recording, which was combined with images from Jostens' boot camp memory book called "The Anchor," from the 1960s and '70s.

Shipmates and fellow Docs, I'm so pleased that you enjoyed the video! Be sure to see Part Two. YouTube limits postings to about 8 or 9 mins. Your whole recording/images runs about 17 mins.

I'm very proud to have served with you!

Fair Seas and God's peace,

@kblackav8or I agree I could never understand why there is Navy boot camp in great lakes, you would have thought San Diego, Norfolk or Mayport would be the place to have navy bootcamp
