Seaman Recruit Savannah Tedder, Division 189, graduated as the top sailor from Recruit Training Command, earning the Military Excellence Award (MEA) on July 28.
Tedder, from San Marcos, joined the Navy to honor a family legacy of military service.
“All three of my parents have served,” Tedder said. “My dad and mom both served in the Army and my stepdad was a master- at-arms in the Navy. Their time in the military means a lot to me and I want to use that as motivation during my service. I want to build strong bonds with my brother and sister sailors so we can work together toward any goal.”
