Hamilton, Joseph C. (Military Notes - 2013)
Navy Seaman Recruit Joseph C. Hamilton, son of Sherrie D. and Kenneth J.
Hamilton of Humbird, recently completed U. S. Navy basic training at Recruit
Training Command, Great Lakes IL.
During the eight-week program, Hamilton 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 succeeded 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.
Hamilton is a 2012 graduate of Neillsville High School.
