That was Sampson Naval Training Base.
Sampson, New York, On the shore of Seneca Lake.

I enlisted in New York, but true to Naval procedures,
I was sent to Great Lakes Illinois boot camp.

Cheers,
gus

My Father Chester T. Szot of Passaic , NJ (RON 36) told me a different story about how he was assigned to PT Boat duty.

It seems that after basic training graduation all of the graduates were told to form a line. When that person got to the head of the line he was told to turn either left or right.

Left was sub duty, right was PT Boat duty.

My father went on to train as an electrician for the entire squadron.
