GREAT LAKES, Ill. (August 20, 2015) -- Seaman Recruit Richard Cassube, of Roy, Wash., left, assists Seaman Recruit Jeremy Cryer, of Gilbert, Ariz., with the proper measurements of the ribbons on his dress uniform in preparation for their upcoming graduation at Recruit Training Command (RTC). Cassube and Cryer are among the first 15 recruits to receive the Recruit Honor Graduate Ribbon. The Honorable Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus approved the award to recognize initial accession enlisted personnel who demonstrate superior performance throughout basic military training in the areas of academics, physical readiness, recruit leadership and commitment to the Navy Core Values. Honor Graduates earning the ribbon will be authorized to wear it during the PIR graduation ceremony held on most Friday during the year. No more than three percent of graduates from each training group will be designated as Honor Graduates. (U.S. Navy Photo by Susan Krawczyk, Released)
