target=_blank>Marine Corps Training and Education Command<\/a>, said at the Tuesday briefing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sands said the Navy anticipates it will require the second location to quarantine future sailors for up to a year and is currently looking for a more efficient and cost-effective location to house recruits before training at the Navy\u2019s Recruit Training Command Great Lakes in Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re starting to look now at a base to the north of us that we can use that will simultaneously reduce our costs

near both the Marine Corps Recruit Depot San Diego and Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island, South Carolina, but Mullen did not say where the Corps was in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mullen said given the uncertainty of the situation he is unsure whether the Marine Corps Training and Education Command will have a budget shortfall this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both commanders credited the <a
