Landis finishes training
COLUMBIA, S.C - Army Reserve Pvt. Anthony W.C. Landis has graduated from basic military training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C., to be a member of the Army National Guard or Reserve Split-option Program.

During the nine weeks of training, the soldier studied the Army mission, history, tradition and core values, physical fitness, and received instruction and practice in basic combat skills, military weapons, chemical warfare and bayonet training, drill and ceremony, marching, rifle marksmanship, armed and unarmed combat, map reading, field tactics, military courtesy, military justice system, basic first aid, foot marches, and field training exercises.
He is the son of Tonja Hard of W. Washington Ave., Urbana and grandson of Cindy and Chuck Hard of Thompson St. S.E., Cedar Rapids.
