The Navy will not accept new recruits this week at its boot camp in Great Lakes, Illinois, after one recruit tested positive for COVID-19.
Despite meeting its recruiting goal of 40,600 sailors, the Navy will fall 5,000 short of its boot camp target due to last-minute enlistments.
Recruits stand in formation on July 10, 2024, at U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill. More than 40,000 recruits train annually at the Navy’s only boot camp.
