Naval Hospital Orlando, FL Details
On 1 January 1968, Orlando Army Air Base was renamed by the Navy as Naval Training Center Orlando, and became the newest of three Naval Training Centers, conducting initial enlisted recruit training (e.g., "boot camp") along with extant facilities NTC Great Lakes, Illinois and NTC San Diego, California. From 1968 until October 19, 1994, NTC Orlando was also the sole location for providing recruit training for female enlisted personnel. In addition to recruit training, NTC Orlando also conducted selected enlisted apprenticeship and technical school training, as well as nuclear power training for both officers and enlisted personnel until late 1999, when it was closed per a 1993 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission decision.
