GREAT LAKES RTC/NTC Reviews

You get a place to hangout with free foods and drinks. Food and drink options may be limited because it's a volunteer place but for what it's worth, it's still free food. The people volunteering are really nice.

Very secure and fin place to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Great place to hangout and they have good free food sometimes from restaurants

To all graduates fair winds and safe travels. Thank you for your service.

Really enjoyed the place but I wished that the seats were low more comfortable.

Veterans Healthcare Center. My brother had an appointment there he was taken in on time and while he was with the physian, I wander around the patients area it looked very open and airie,clean and folks there were very kind and helpful. The personal there was very helpful and informative. I would like to go there myself.

The USO remains a viable resource for active duty, retired, and military veterans. Please support them and our troops.

Its easy to get lost if not familiar with Great Lakes.

Those people are really nice. Super friendly. Helped me find my way and threw in a snack to. Its always a great day to be an American.

Va hospital so nice very informative just appreciate everyone there thank you for such great care

A great USO to stop and visit. I've been to USO's all over the world and few topped this one. Stop by and support your USO because they ALWAYS support our Armed Forces!!

Best USO facility I've visited so far. Very friendly staff. So many snack choices and the movie area was amazing!

Very Cold. Was their for Boot Camp and station their. Jan 15, 1962 to Dec 1963. I hated the windy cold place. Yes their was some good memories from Chicago and Milwaukee too. I just hated the cold. Thank GOD for the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. My son also went to Boot Camp at Great Lakes 25 years later.
GOD Bless All.

As a veteran it is nice to have a hospital near by, but majority of the time I don't use this VA. I prefer using a civilian doctor or hospital. The ER doctors have always been great! Once admitted for health reasons u feel like a number not a person, the doctors don't seem to care and often u get asked the same questions over and over again by the same and different doctors. Do they listen at all or do they not read the charts? The mental health department was awful, Hines VA was much better. I only attend this location now to see a therapist named Mr. Kubiac, he is by far the best therapist I have ever talked to and actually cares about people and veterans.

Breathtaking!Everything & Everyone! Just breathtaking!

Love our military. Son just graduated from Great Lakes.

Offer free foods, snacks, drinks.. and lots of entertainment activities such as music room, movie theatre, computer, pools tables, library....

Amazing fireworks every 4th of July! The best in Illinois

Nice place but rather small. Staff was friendly and helpful

Staff BOOTCAMP training staff Aeesome, to parents especially those of us who stressed about the none communication with their kid.

Amazing people and amazing facilities!
It was an incredible honor and pleasure working with the SAF and Veterans.

This place is great for retirees and active service members

Excited to be here and see my youngest son graduate in the Naval Honor Guard.

Great Place to be at and hang out and friendly staff..

Very friendly staff and great benefits for active duty and veterans.

They always have a wonderful display of fireworks. Also like how the check everyone coming in so you know it will be safe for everyone. Love the entertainment and food that's available to buy. Keep up the great job you all do!!!!!

We found a North Face coat for my nephew in the amount of $59, this was a great buy.

Felt comfortable
....like home

We visited for our son's graduation from Navy basic training ... super nice place.

The folks of the USO are amazing no matter where you go!

Great place for young sailors to get free snacks, food & drink while seeing a movie, or playing games. (Ie- pool, Nintendo, drawing, chess/checkers). Or just relaxing, or taking a nap.

A little piece of home. Great volunteers, good food, FREE!!!

Very helpful folks and they took great care of my young Sailor

We went to my son's basic training graduation, we went to the museum there, I highly recommend if you're in the area.

Watched our Grandson graduate from bootcamp. Great ceremony and a pleasant Naval Base.

Awesome vibe, historical, charming buildings throughout the base.
