What To Expect When Your Child Arrives:

 

Upon arrival, new recruits are required to go DIRECTLY to the USO office and check in with the military staff member present. The USO office and lounge is located in Terminal 2, Main Floor, Upper Level Office Spaces (office spaces are located above the airline ticket counters). You can see the USO office from the Chicago Police Booth located just prior to exiting the lobby area. Stairs are located at either door 2B or 2C.

After arriving at the USO, the staff member will give you instructions and an opportunity to eat if it is not too late. Most new arrivals are given meals en route to O'Hare Airport or during layovers. Whenever possible, you must eat PRIOR to arriving at O'Hare Airport.

Recruit training, or "boot camp," will be approximately 8 weeks long.
The goal of this training is to transform your child from a civilian into a Sailor with all of the skills necessary to perform in the fleet. Their training will include physical fitness, seamanship, firearms, firefighting and shipboard damage control, lessons in the Navy's heritage and core values, teamwork, and discipline. Their training will be challenging but highly rewarding.
