151126-N-FO977-038 ARLINGTON HEIGHTS, Ill. (Nov. 26, 2015) U.S. Navy recruits from the Navy’s only boot camp, Recruit Training Command (RTC) in Great Lakes, Ill., are greeted by American Legion Post 208 members as they come off the bus here Thanksgiving Day. The Legion hosted 84 recruits as part of an annual Adopt-A-Sailor program. The program allows local organizations in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, like Arlington’s American Legion, to adopt eligible recruits to spend the day off base. The organizations provide a Thanksgiving Day meal with all the trimmings and other assorted treats for the recruits, including allowing recruits to phone home.
