Navy Seaman Recruit Benjamin C. Luffman, son of Mark and Tina Luffman of Cottonwood, recently completed Navy Basic Training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill. During the eight-week program, Luffman had classroom study and practical instruction on naval customs, first aid, firefighting, water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safety. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations," a teamwork and endurance exercise that gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. Battle Stations is the capstone event that gives recruits the key skills and confidence they need to graduate and take to the fleet. "Battle Stations" has been designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and Core Values learned during recruit training as the apex of the training program. Its distinctly Navy flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor. Luffman is a 2004 graduate of Mingus Union High School. |
