Broadwater High School 2023 graduate Will Lynde will begin a two-year stint in October as a Navy Ceremonial Guardsman in Washington D.C. He learned of his assignment when he was halfway through his recruit training.
He graduated from recruit training on August 25th in Waukegan, Illinois, according to his father T.J. Lynde of Townsend who attended the ceremony with his wife Samara and his daughter Scout, who also serves in the Navy.
Lynde had signed up for a five-year contract in aviation mechanics; however, he was rerouted to serve in the prestigious position of honor guardsman. He will serve in the Navy’s highest service for Arlington Cemetery burials and presidential inaugurations. Only three hundred guardsmen are in the intensive training at one time.
Lynde could be the only Montanan to serve during his assignment. He will return to aviation mechanics when he is finished in Washington D.C.
