Yes Great Lakes is the only basic training facility for the Navy. There used to be 3. Recruit Training Command San Diego, CA; Recruit Training Command Orlando, FL; Recruit Training Command Great Lakes, IL. The other 2 were closed in the 90's.

The rest was taken care of. They sent me a travel voucher for air from Reading, Pa to Louisville, and a bus ticket from LV to Ft. Knox. A military cab took us to the reception center.

I don't think that you will have to get a ride to the great lakes. If you aren't sure, just ask your recruiter. The Navy should go out of their way to be sure you get to the drop off point they need you at. ( At least they did that for people back when I was around 18 years old.)
