Navy Seaman Recruit Kayla M. Brown, daughter of  Jennifer L. and Michael W. Beck of Douglas, Ariz., recently completed U.S.  Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.


During the eight-week program, Brown 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. Its distinctly ‘’Navy’’  flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

  Brown is a 2009 graduate of Douglas High School .
