MILLINGTON, Tenn. - Petty Officer 2nd Class Nathan Dallmann, a native of Oshkosh, Wisconsin, was recently meritoriously promoted to the rank of petty officer second class while serving aboard the U.S. Navy warship, USS Boxer, operating out of San Diego, California.
Dallmann, a 2019 Oshkosh West High School graduate, joined the Navy five years ago.
Today, Dallmann serves as a hull maintenance technician.
Dallmann was meritoriously advanced for their exemplary work and accomplishments as a hull maintenance technician third class petty officer.
"Being meritoriously advanced emphasizes the importance of having a strong work ethic," said Dallmann. "My work ethic has driven me to succeed and become a leader my junior sailors can look up to. This advancement has helped me realize that my superiors genuinely appreciate my talents and efforts. I look forward to guiding those around me to be just as successful."
Boxer is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship and the sixth U.S. ship to bear the name of the original HMS Boxer, which was captured by the British during the War of 1812.
