Hello folks! I served as a corpsman in Great Lakes from 1988 through 1992. I was exploring Google Earth today, and looking for the BEQ near the hospital. I don't know if my memory is wrong (which is ENTIRELY possible) or if one of the men's BEQs is missing. There was one on the road between the hospital and the corps school, and there was another on the north side (I think) of the hospital, just before the bridge that leads to the rest of the base. I know that there is a women's BEQ, because I lived there for some time, and the second men's BEQ was next to it.

I've attached a photo taken from Google Earth. I've labeled the hospital, the Naval Office of Medical/Dental Affairs, and where I remember the BEQ being. Can anyone tell me if this building was torn down, or do you have any pictures from the late eighties, showing where it was? Thanks!

I transferred from NAVHOS Great Lakes this past June. The BEQ was listed as inhabital and was torn down. The Naval Hospital has merged with VA and the Navy is looking at turning the hospital side of the base back over to the City of North Chicago. Also Hospital Corps School is moving to Texas (SAn Antonio).

When I was there in June 1997, there was two barracks; 129 and 131, male and female respectively. Corps side was strictly corpsman with the hospital, school, gym, and barracks with firehouse.
