What does it mean to be a Sailor? Are we heroes? Do we go to sea to defend America? Do we abide by strict self-discipline and
live by Core Values of Honor, Courage and Committment? Yes, a
Sailor is all these things and more.
By choosing to join the United States Navy you pledge yourself
to a new way of life. At Recruit Training Command we will train,
mentor, and anchor your life in the war-fighting culture of being
a Sailor. This process is called Sailorization.
Sailorization is a program designed to integrate Sailors into Navy life, shape their expectations for future duty assignments,
and give them the tools needed for career and personal success.
Those in the Sailorization process include recruiters, Recruit
Division Commanders (RDCs), instructors, and officers. The leadership
and staff at RTC work to provide the fleet with world-class Sailors,
who possess the basic skills necessary for Naval service.
