Tate Grad Brandyn Clemmons Completes Navy Basic Training
April 29, 2014
Navy Seaman Recruit Brandyn W. Clemmons, son of B. Clemmons of Foley and Joanna C. Wilson of Cantonment recently completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Clemmons 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.
Clemmons is a 2013 graduate of Tate High School.

Stay focused on your curriculum and duties Seaman Clemons and you will go far.
Thank you for your service.
That’s my son. I’m so proud of all he has accomplished and all that he has ahead of him. The navy is lucky to have him as long as they remember to take the best care of him. Brandyn your mom loves you and is so blessed to be YOUR Mom!
