Petty Officer 2nd Class Caleb Ellis, a native of Paxville, S.C., has been awarded a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal for being named Navy Medical Readiness Training Command Beaufort’s 2024 Sailor of the Year.
Ellis, who joined the Navy eight years ago, serves as a hospital corpsman. He graduated from Manning High School in 2006.
“Being named Sailor of the Year shows recognition to the hard-working team I have around me,” he said. “It is important for Sailors to know that what we do matters and is noticed by our leadership. I am proud to be a role model for my junior Sailors and to assist them in reaching their professional and personal goals. One team, one fight.”
