Recruiting substation?

[will1226]

There is a Marine recruiting substation next to my home. What does the "substation" mean?? I tried looking it up but I can't find what the "substation" means. Anyone know?

In a region there is usually a recruiting station that is the HQ for the others. The branch offices are referred to as 'substation'.

For the purposes of recruiting Marines, the United States is divided into two regions. The Eastern Recruiting Region mostly covers districts east of the Mississippi River (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi_River). The Western Recruiting Region predominately covers districts west of the Mississippi.
The two regions are divided into three districts each, each comprising several states. These are subdivided into Recruiting Stations (RS) located in large metropolitan areas, with smaller Recruiting Sub-Stations (RSS) covering smaller cities and rural areas.
The Marine Corps Recruiting Command has approximately 3,000 recruiters operating out of 48 Recruiting Stations, 574 Recruiting Sub-Stations, and 71 Officer Selection Sites across the continental United States (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contiguous_United_States), Alaska (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska), Hawaii, Puerto Rico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puerto_Rico) and Guam (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guam).

Wow, Bloop! And was all of this information easily available through a simple Internet search?
