190813-N-IK959-1986 CHICAGO (August 13, 2016) – Rear Adm. Jamie Sands, commander, Naval Service Training Command (NSTC), throws out the first pitch before the Chicago White Sox Major League Baseball game against the Houston Astros at Guaranteed Rate Field, August 13. Sands issued the Oath of Enlistment to more than 75 Chicago-area, Indiana and Wisconsin young men enlisting into the U. S. Navy. The new recruits are part of the 2019 Chicago White Sox Special Recruit Division and their enlistment was in the outfield before the game. It is the 34th time the White Sox have sponsored a recruit division at the U. S. Navy’s only boot camp, Recruit Training Command (RTC), at Naval Station Great Lakes, Ill. Sands was the quest of honor for the event and threw out the first pitch after enlisting the new recruits during pregame ceremonies saluting the Navy.
