Marine Pfc.
Steven C.
Saletzki, son Dianna and stepson
of Gerald A. Hamer of Heppner,
iccently completed basic training
at Marine Corps Recruit Depot,
San Diego.
Saletzki successfully completed
12 weeks of training designed to
challenge new Marine recruits
both physically and mentally.
Saletzki and fellow recruits

running
three miles and
performing calisthenics.
In

to
the physical
conditioning program, Saletzki
spent numerous hours in
classroom and field assignments
which included learning first aid,

operated as a small infantry unit

commitment, and what the words
mean in guiding personal and
professional conduct," said a
Hometown News Center release.
Saletzki and others ended the
training phase with "The
Crucible", a 54-hour team effort,
problem solving evolution which
culminated with an emotional
ceremony in which the recruits
were presented the Marine Corps
Emblem and were addressed as
"Marines" for the first time since
