I went to BC at RTC Sandy Eggo in '63. This is a video of how it looks now and sad to it go away and how some of the old barracks are in disarray.

The old asphalt grinder is gone, is now a grass field.

I see that the only Navy boot camp is Great Lakes and noticed how the curriculum has really changed.

The "Company Commanders" are now RDC's (Recruit Division Commanders). You address them as Chief _ _ _ _ or Petty Officer _ _ _ _ (Not Sir, like the old days.)

and you have to first pre-qual for a 1.5 mile run before you can go to week one of training. No rifles drills like there was. No washing clothes by hand like I did.
