Nearly 200 chiefs-select<\/a> will return to the Navy\u2019s boot camp this fall as part of a program that the sea service is resurrecting after doing away with it five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Chief Selectee Back to Boot Camp program will see 176 chiefs-select and 30 mentors from across the fleet return to Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, Illinois, for a week of specialized leadership training from Sept. 4 to Sept. 8, according to a Navy message<\/a> released last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will take place during the second week of the six-week chiefs initiation process, according to officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those attending will be unable to leave the base and will stay in open berthing areas, where they will \u201cenjoy the same type of accommodations as recruits and staff,\u201d the message states.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a week of \u201cleadership and heritage training,\u201d selectees for the voluntary program will attend a recruit capping and a recruit graduation ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
