During the eight-week
program, Griffin completed
a variety of training which
included classroom study
and practical instruction on
naval customs, first aid, fire
fighting, water safety and
survival, and shipboard and

endurance in each recruit
through the practical appli
cation of basic Navy skills
and the core values of
Honor, Courage and

to take into account what it
means to be a sailor.
