“Since starting here, I have built more appreciation for the military, our freedoms and what all of that encompasses. I was very fortunate that the foreman I came in under was highly engaged. It rubbed off on me. She would make up shipyard games that taught me a lot, and she enjoyed sharing everything she knew. There’s such a diverse group of people that work here – people just coming in out of high school, military retirees, older people like me – there are so many cultures here coming together.”
The series features shipbuilders’ photos and their brief statements. If you or another shipbuilder you know is interested in being highlighted, email communications@hii-nns.com.
