Navy Seaman Recruit Troy V Surrell, a 2006 graduate of Westmoore High School, recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.

An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is Battle Stations. The exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet.

Its distinctly Navy flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a sailor.
