Nice camos.. when I was at Great Lakes, they issued us dungarees, summer whites and winter blacks. I also don't recall menus on the mess hall tables. My RPOC was useless.. some kid that barely finished HS.

Shipmate, The USN did away with dungarees and the "Gun Fighter/Johnny Cash" uniforms about 3 + years ago.

I remember my RPOC.. a kid from Pennsylvania named JD Sweat..He was cool...He could really sing cadence and his assistant was a tall black kid from St Louis. I cannot remember his name. In unison they could really sing a great cadence. back then,1971, RPOCs and assistant RPOC carried swords. And the company carrier inert M1s rifles. Bolt was removed.

RTC Great Lakes was completely rebuilt at a cost of $763 million dollars.

from wiki...

Navy recruit training is now exclusively conducted at Naval Station Great Lakes' Recruit Training Command. Prior to the mid-1990s, recruit training facilities included Naval Training Center Orlando and Naval Training Center San Diego. Female recruit training was previously limited to the Orlando facility. The Base Realignment and Closure Commission of 1993 resulted in the consolidation of recruit training to Great Lakes. Following the consolidation, the Navy undertook a massive recapitalization (recap) program to upgrade the Great Lakes Recruit Training facility. The recap included the construction of Camp John Paul Jones, a 48-acre (190,000 m2) site on land formerly owned by the Veterans Administration Hospital adjacent to Camp Porter. New barracks were also constructed, and are referred to as "ships" by the recruits. Each "ship" was also named after an important ship in naval history, such as USS John F. Kennedy and USS Enterprise. Each "ship" can house up to 1300 recruits during training.
U.S. Navy sailors man the rails of the training simulator, USS Trayer (BST-21), which was completed in June 2007.

A 210-foot (64 m) Arleigh Burke-class destroyer simulator called USS Trayer (BST-21)[6] was also constructed as part of the recap program also known as Battle Stations 21 (BST 21).[7]

USS Enterprise (BLDG 7115)

The USS Enterprise Recruit Barracks Building is the eighth of fourteen built as part of a $763 million recapitalization program.

The USS Enterprise (BLDG-7115) has 120,000 square feet (11,000 m2) of space, enough to accommodate 16 recruit divisions of up to 88 recruits each. This facility integrates berthing, classrooms, learning resource centers, a galley, and quarterdeck, all under one roof. Each "ship" has a Ship's Officer who fills the role of Commanding Officer, a Ship's Leading Chief Petty Officer who fills the role of Command Master Chief, and a Chaplain.

I was the division yeoman.. I escaped a lot of PTs ;) because I always had 'paperwork' to do.
I hated one of my RDCs.. Gosh I hated him. SOB was a Machinist Mate on one of the Spruance class DDG I think. I always wondered what I would do if I ever saw him out on the fleet but luckily never did.
