What Does It Means To be part of the Firehawk Battalion?

Being part of the Firehawk Battalion means Family, which means that we take care of each other and push each other to be better than what we were yesterday. We are a group of diverse, yet like-minded people. Here in the Firehawk Battalion, you have the opportunity to make your own legacy for future cadets to follow and strive farther. Being a part of this family gives opportunities to experience new things and build fond memories to look back on as you grow in age, and in person. As a part of the Ohana (family), there is always a place for people, especially when they don't "feel at home" in their own homes.

Expectations Of A Cadet

The exceptions and things we look for in our NJROTC program are Cadets with abilities to overcome challenges they would never think they would have been able to accomplish, we look forward to having Cadets improve on themselves and pushing past their limits to the fullest, always striving to be the best of themselves while also giving 110% in everything they do.

Professional Bio

Born in Seattle, WA. Upon graduation from Lynnwood High school in 1992 I enlisted into the Navy and attended Recruit Training Command (RTC), Orlando, Fl. From there I went to Firefighting school in Norfolk, Va. My first duty station was USS Simon Lake in La Maddalena, Italy as an undesignated Seaman. This tour gave me the opportunity to travel to Gibraltar, Spain and Toulon, France. While here I realized that I truly love taking photos so I decided to strike Photography which then led me back to Norfolk, VA to work at CINCLANTFLT as a PHAN/E-3. At the end of my enlistment, I decided to get out. After 3 years, I decided to return back to the Navy where I can have thirty days of vacation every year, holidays off, free college, and the opportunity to grow.

For my next journey as a fleet returnee, I had to change my job and could no longer be a photographer. By 1999 I went to Operation Specialist "A" school in Virginia Beach, VA then received orders to San Diego, Ca onboard USS Cowpens CG63. I was the third female to be intergraded onboard an all-male ship. In 2000 we then sailed to Yokosuka, Japan for a crew swap with the USS Mobile Bay CG53. During that cruise, we stopped in Hawaii, Saipan, Singapore, Japan, Hong Kong, and Guam. This command was great for my career and advanced multiple ranks. As a female, it was rare to be selected to attend ASTAC school where I would learn how to control aircraft and helicopters as well as hunt submarines utilizing buoys. In my final deployment I had the chance to visit some new countries like Townsville, Sydney, and Darwin Australia. Then to the USS John Paul Jones DDG-53 for a short tour where I earned my Enlisted Surface Warfare Specialist designation. The Naval Brig in Bremerton, Wa was probably the biggest challenge and way out of my comfort zone Command, thankfully I had a mentor who was incredible! I was able to flourish here as a Correctional Specialist, Training Officer, CPR/First Aid instructor.

My final ship tour was COMPHIBRON THREE on board USS PELELIU (LHA 5) as the LPO. This deployment was the longest in my career for a full 7 months. For me this was the most exciting and accomplished tour in my entire Naval career. The PELARG/15th MEU collectively dealt with AIROPS in Afghanistan against enemy fighters. Helped with disaster relief in Pakistan due to flooding, and seized a pirated vessel, rescuing a crew of 11 hostages and detaining 9 suspected pirates off the coast of Somalia and rescuing Somalians from a sinking ship. This deployment I also earned my Enlisted Aviation Warfare Specialist. We also stopped at a couple new ports like Sri Lanka, Dubai, Subic Bay, Philippines and Phuket, Thailand.

My final command would be Naval Base Kitsap in Bremerton, WA. Here I focused on mentorship. Helping as many people possible and turned over as much knowledge as possible for the next future leaders. Once retired in 2015 I changed my path multiple times. We moved to American Samoa, then to Las Vegas. I worked for Alaska Airlines and now fulfilling my high school dream of becoming a Naval Instructor.
