NATHAN HEVNER
Twenty-year-old Nathan Hevner of Cottonwood enlisted in the U.S. Army the day he turned 18. Seven months later, Hevner was assigned to take his basic training in Fort Jackson, S.C.
After completing basic training in September 2007, he was assigned to computers and networking.
He then took specialized training including jump school, bounty hunter school, Gryphon Group and technical school. Hevner's favorite was the beginning of Gryphon Group since he is an avid All Terrain Vehicle rider.

Hevner's Technical Support Group went over with the Special Forces Group and both units are scheduled to return at the same time. Hevner is currently ranked as an E4 with a six-year hitch.
