Yeoman 3rd Class David Guzman, a 2017 graduate of John Marshall High School, was one of 140 Sailors to receive a promotion to the next paygrade.
Sailors were advanced based on a number of factors such as evaluations, exam scores, time in rate, awards and pass not advanced points.
Capt. Kyle Higgins, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower’s commanding officer, congratulated the Sailors.
“This takes a lot of hard work, a lot of determination, moral fortitude, grit and resiliency,” said Higgins. “Thank you for the jobs that you do, thank you for the leadership you provide. You’ve earned it, keep it.”
Guzman said he was honored to be selected.
"I’m very excited,” he said. “It feels like a weight has been lifted off of my shoulders and I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the senior Yeomen aboard the ship.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower is currently underway conducting carrier qualifications in the Atlantic Ocean.
