One newspaper entitled "Great Lakes Bulletin" dated November 19, 1943. The newspaper covers events at the Great Lakes Naval Training Station, comics, ads, and information on insurance. On the first page there is a menu for a Thanksgiving meal that will be served; a list of educational classes being offered free of charge for the recruits; a report on the sit-up championship; and a picture of Company 1364 and Company 1388. Both companies are in the "Hall of Fame" for having received the "Rooster Award" multiple times. Company 1364 received the award 3 times, and Company 1388 received it five times. There is also an article that concerns a new cream used to prevent flash burns.
