Suzanne D. H0110well
Ends Navy Training
Navy Seaman Recruit Suzanne D. Hollowell, daughter of
Nancy M. Sinkfield of Hogansville, and Marvin E. Hollowell
of Stone Mountain, recently completed U.S. Navy basic train-
ing at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.
During the eight-week program, Hollowell completed a
variety of training which included classroom study and prac-
tical instruction on naval customs, first aid, fire fighting,
water safety and survival, and shipboard and aircraft safe-
ty. An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness.
The capstone event of boot camp is "Battle Stations".
This exercise gives recruits the key skills and confidence
they need to graduate and take to the fleet. "Battle Stations"
has been 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.
Blazer Serving on USS Iwo Jima
Navy Airman Rod C. Blazer, son of Susan Pitts of LaGrange
and E. R. Blazer of Hogansville recently made a port visit
to Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates while assigned to the
amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima, homeported in
Norfolk, Va.
During the visit, Blazer's ship off-loaded the 26th Marine
Expeditionary Unit's equipment. Sailors and Marines also
had the opportunity to shop, sightsee and enjoy the local cul-
ture and cuisine.
Blazer is one of more than 5,000 Atlantic Fleet Sailors
and Marines aboard the ships of the USS Iwo Jima Amphibious
Ready Group who participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
USS Iwo Jima supports amphibious operations using
Landing Craft Air Cushions which are specially designed
hovercraft that travel above land and sea surfaces and deliv-
er vehicles and equipment. The ship also has conventional
landing craft and helicopters embarked, and is equipped
with medical facilities staffed by Navy doctors, dentists,
nurses and corpsmen.
Blazer is a 1999 graduate of Callaway High School and
joinedthe Navy in July 1999.
