I went to NTTC Meridian MI in the summer of 1983. I was in one of those units--we called them "mods", and it looks like they are the same. That locker looks identical to what we had. We had 3 to a room, with a bunk bed and then a single bed. So it doesn't look like they've changed much. The brief shots of the outside of the barracks as well as the schools looks the same. It's a relief at my age, knowing that SOMETHING is still the fairly close to the same! I went to Boot Camp in Orlando, and that was bulldozed away years ago. The ship I served on, USS Truxtun CGN-35, was decommissioned and chopped up into razor blades back in the 90s. I was a Navy PN, and we learned on typewriters and the old OCR forms, with lessons in binders, not computers--and there were no such things as cell phones, and Smart phones were not even in our science fiction movies. This video is already two years old. If you read this James--treasure these years, whether you stay in the service or not, these are the best years of your life.

Takes me back , was there in 81, Yeoman "A" School training, looks a bit different,base looks same. Was only there 3 mos or so. Graduated early,transferred to San Diego, CA to the USS Cleveland LPD-7. Home for 4 yrs, and several Wespac deployments. Went to several other commands,but it all started here at NTTC after bootcamp at RTC, Orlando Fl. (Since closed down). Had great time,great friends,shipmates at NTTC, MS. HOO YAH NAVY! ANYTIME,ANYWHERE BABY. Retired for some time now. Still miss it everyday! Go Navy!

Takes me back. Went to SK school there in 1986. Buildings and grounds look the same. Inside except furniture is the same. We had 3 to a room. Lots of memories. We were strongly encouraged not to leave base bc of racial tensions so base had lower minimum drinking age.

Pretty much looks exactly the same as it did when I was there in 2008. They were building or refurbishing the barracks. I was one of the last ones in the old barracks so I ended up having a room allllllll to myself for like a month. Very nice :-) Also, I'd get lost in in Yeoman school sometimes. That square layout and white walls was so confusing to me for some reason. I never knew which part of the building I was walking out of LOL
