Szkaradnik Completes Basic Training

 

By Herald Staff

COURT HOUSE — Navy Seaman Christopher J. Szkaradnik, son of Alice L. Keech of New Bern, N. C. and Joseph E. Szkaradnik, of Court House, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Szkaradnik completed a variety of training which included 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”. This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is 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 the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment.
Szkaradnik is a 2003 graduate of New Bern High School of New Bern, N. C.
