From the armed services

• Air Force Airman Adam S. Dewitt graduated from basic military training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas.

The airman completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fitness and basic warfare principles and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

He is the son of Elaine Dewitt of Des Plaines and nephew of Edward Lichner of Elk Grove Village. Dewitt is a 2008 graduate of Elk Grove High School.

• Navy Seaman Apprentice Brandon M. Tuzzo, son of Mariela G. Hodge of Schaumburg, completed U.S. Navy basic training at Recruit Training Command, Great Lakes, Ill.

During the eight-week program, Tuzzo 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.

Tuzzo is a 2005 graduate of Palatine High School in Palatine.

• Army Staff Sgt. Dennis W. Jenkins returned to the U.S. after a deployment to Iraq in support of Operations Iraqi Freedom.

Soldiers return to Fort Dix, N.J. for debriefing, evaluations and out-processing procedures before returning to their regularly assigned Army Reserve or National Guard units.

The staff sergeant served in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Iraq Theater of Operations.

Jenkins, a human resource specialist, is normally assigned to the 308th Civil Affairs Brigade, Homewood, Ill. He has served in the military for 18 years.

He is the son of Dennis W. Jenkins of Zeppelin of Hanover Park. In 1988, he graduated from Glenbard North High School, Carol Steam.
