MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Ensign Nicholas Orozco, a native of Stockton, California, was honored with the Navy League Honor, Courage, and Commitment Award during a recent graduation held at the Navy Supply Corps School (NSCS) in Newport, Rhode Island.
Orozco is a 2013 graduate of Pacific Law Academy High School and a 2023 Brandman University Graduate.
Orozco joined the Navy 12 years ago.
"Being recognized to earn this award serves as a reminder to thank God for always blessing me and enlightens me to continue to serve with the passion that I brought into the Navy when I enlisted nearly 12 years ago," Orozco said. "It is especially humbling to know that the award exemplifies what every sailor is taught to uphold from the beginning and they are our Navy's core values. I pride myself on service to my country, but more importantly, service to others and this award recognizes that my efforts continue to uphold the standard and serve as a role model for juniors and seniors around me. It makes me proud to know the impact I have on others and I feel very blessed to have the trust of those around me and to be allowed to do so each and every day."
Navy Supply Corps officers play a critical role in ensuring sailors have the equipment and resources they need to maintain readiness and counter global threats.
NSCS, whose mission is to provide students with the personal and professional foundations for success, prepares its graduates to offer global logistics support across the fleet. Following graduation, officers like Orozco are deployed worldwide to put their training into action, contributing to the Navy’s continuous presence around the globe.
The U.S. Navy is celebrating its 250th birthday this year.
According to Navy officials, “America is a maritime nation and for 250 years, America’s Warfighting Navy has sailed the globe in defense of freedom.”
With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to recruiting and retaining talented people from across the rich fabric of America.
Orozco can take pride in serving America through military service.
