It will be different,however, in that we are going to take a “field trip” (spouses invited) to the Great Lakes <strong>Naval</strong> Service Training Center and BootCamp. We will leave around lunch time on Friday and travel by bus to Great Lakes. Box lunches will be provided on thebus. The afternoon will be spent touring the campus and getting an understanding of what our young people experience asthey become Sailors. It is guaranteed to be a great education. After the tour, we will have no-host cocktails at the Officers’ Club followedby dinner. The ride home, after traffic, will finish off the day with “hospitality” on the bus. CAPT John Farr and other members from ourChicago area have done a lot of work to make this a memorable event. More details will be provided in the registrant’s packet.20 NRA NEWS/SEPTEMBER 2007
