Interior Communications Electrician 2nd Class Kyle Bloodworth, a 2009 graduate of Fairview High School, was one of 68 Sailors to receive a promotion to the next paygrade as part of the Navy’s Meritorious Advancement Program (MAP).
The program allows commanding officers to advance eligible Sailors to the next paygrade in recognition of their hard work and dedication.
Capt. Kyle Higgins, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower’s commanding officer, congratulated the Sailors.
“I want these Sailors to understand their leadership position,” said Higgins. “My advice to all who were advanced is to keep performing. You can never rest where we are; it’s always where we’re going.”
Bloodworth said he was honored to be selected.
“When I heard my name called, I was overjoyed with excitement,” he said. “Overall I feel like all the work I put in has finally paid off.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower is currently undergoing routine maintenance in its Norfolk homeport.
