Butler graduated from Branson High School in 2016.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Branson.
“Growing up I was taught to listen to hear not listen to respond,” said Butler. “Here in the Navy we all have to get along and work together to get the mission done. Proper communication saves lives.”
Butler joined the Navy four years ago. Today, Butler serves as a master of arms.

CTF 75 executes command and control of assigned Navy Expeditionary Combat Forces in the 7th Fleet area of operations. They plan and execute naval construction, expeditionary logistics, explosive ordnance disposal and maritime expeditionary security for crisis response, humanitarian assistance, and major combat operations.
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.
Butler serves a Navy that operates far forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation’s prosperity and security.
“We will earn and reinforce the trust and confidence of the American people every day,” said Adm. Lisa Franchetti, chief of naval operations. “Together we will deliver the Navy the nation needs.”
Butler has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I am most proud of meeting so many amazing people from all over the country and to be able to travel as much as I have,” said Butler. “Coming from a small town in Missouri to being here in Guam is a huge life change, but I am grateful for the experience and opportunity.”
Butler can take pride in serving America through military service.
“Serving in the Navy means waking up and realizing you are part of something bigger than yourself and being a part of traditions going back over 200 years ,” said Butler. “We go out and sail the world’s waterways to keep our country and allies safe.”
Butler is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.
“I would like to thank my dad, Brian, for raising me to be the young man and sailor I am today,” added Butler. “I work very hard every day to make him and the rest of my family back at home safe and proud.”
