Recruit Trainings are not run by specific units or divisions. The are arranged to support geographic areas. Unfortunately, Recruit Training is held in the Summer (June-August), There may be a Recruit Training site earlier in the year, but it may be all the way across the country. You are encouraged to attend the Recruit Training site in your area, because a billet has been specifically set aside for you. If you travel to another recruit training site, you will be taking a billet intended for a Cadet in that area who may either have to travel somewhere else (compounding the problem) or not being able to attend at all. Sometimes, based on holiday schedules, Recruit Trainings are held between Christmas and New Year's Day. Recruit Training is a very important step in a Cadet's career development and a full 9 or 14 days cycle is the most beneficial. Keep and eye out for the Summer or Winter Training Schedule to find out when the Recruit Training will be scheduled. |

engines and engineering systems. Think you'd like a career in any of the following ratings (Gas Turbine System Technician, Machinist's Mate, Electronics Technician, Engineman, Hull Maintenance Technician, Damage Controlman, Machinery Repairman, or Electrician's Mate)? Come explore these career opportunities where the Navy trains sailors who will be part of the essential engineering and hull ratings, at the Center for Naval Engineering, Great Lakes (CNE).
