Sheehan
Navy Fireman Matthew C.
Sheehan recently completed
U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great
Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Sheehan 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.
Sheehan is a 2013 graduate of
Lampasas High School. He is the
son of Ricky L. McQueen, and
Kimberly M. Sheehan of Mustang, Okla.
3 million nonperishable food
items to nonprofits, collected
donations for Toys for Tots and
distributed much-needed baby
items for a women’s hope center.
