Carrasco begins U.S. Army training
Army Pvt. Joseph M. Carrasco has arrived at the U.S. Army Infantry School,
Fort Benning, Columbus, Ga., to begin One Station Unit Training (OSUT).
The training combines basic military training and advanced individual training
(AIT).
During basic training, the trainee will receive instruction in drill
and ceremonies, map reading, tactics, military customs and courtesies,
physical fitness, and first aid. The recruit will develop combat skills
and handle various weapons available to the infantry soldier.
During AIT, the soldier will receive instruction to qualify as a light-weapons
infantryman or an indirect-fire crewman assigned to a rifle or mortar squad.
Instruction will include weapons qualifications, tactics, patrolling, field
communications, combat operations, and survival during a nuclear, biological,
or chemical attack.
Carrasco is the son of Delma R. Navarrette of Pecos.
His wife, Christabel, is the daughter of Louis and Susie Ybarra of Pecos.
In 1994, Carrasco graduated from Pecos High School.
