Frank Basquez-Gallerito completed his Basic Training at the Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois near Waukegan, IL located on the north side of Chicago. He is currently stationed in San Diego where he is receiving advanced training as a Navy electrician.
The young sailor comes from a military family. Frank's grandfather, Tony Basquez (Pechanga), served in the U.S. Marine Corps during the Korean Conflict and his great uncle, Marcus “Mac” Mojado, served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. A cousin, Elizabeth (Basquez) Kolb, served in the U.S. Army Color Guard as a bugler. Mia and her husband, Frank Bow are extremely proud of their son and rightfully so. We are also proud of Frank and may God watch over him and keep him safe. MILITARY FAMILY NOTES
The young recruit is undergoing his basic training at the Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois. Frank enlisted in the United State Navy on September 14, 2016. He took the oath of military service at the Military Entrance Processing Station in San Diego. He enlisted for eight-years of active duty and three-years of reserve service time. When asked why he enlisted for eight-years of active duty as apposed to the normal four-years. He reported for active duty at the U.S. Naval Base in San Diego on March 16, 2017. Although he enlisted in September 2016 his date for reporting for active duty was delayed by the Navy since he was enrolled with the Southern California EMS Training institute in Murrieta. He will complete his basic training around the middle of May 2017 at the Great Lakes Naval Station in Illinois adjacent to Waukegan, IL on the north side of Chicago. Upon completion of his eight-weeks of basic training he will begin his Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) training as a certified electrician. Frank graduated from San Jacinto High School on June 9, 2016. During his four-years of high school he participated in the Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) pro-gram. Frank is the middle child of five siblings. He spend the first 15-years of his life on the Mescalero Apache Indian Reservation in New Mexico where he is an enrolled tribal member. The Mescalero Apache reservation is also the home of many of the blood relatives of the famous Apache warrior, Geronimo. However, he has deep family roots with the Soboba Indian Reservation in Southern California. The Basquez-Gallerito family moved to the Soboba reservation in 2012. However, his mother, Mia, said she made sure they came home every summer.
