SEATTLE - Petty Officer 2nd Class Justice Bynoe, a native of Hemet, California, serves aboard USS Barry, a U.S. Navy warship homeported at Naval Station Everett, Washington. The ship is currently in a Seattle shipyard undergoing routine maintenance.
Bynoe graduated from Tahquitz High School in 2016.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Hemet.
“Growing up in Southern California, I developed a good sense of situational awareness,” said Bynoe.
Bynoe joined the Navy five years ago. Today, Bynoe serves as a logistics specialist.
“I joined the Navy because I wanted to explore new areas,” said Bynoe. “Also, my father was in the Marine Corps and he told me about his service.”
A Navy destroyer is a multi-mission ship that can operate independently or as part of a larger group of ships at sea. The ship is equipped with tomahawk missiles, torpedoes, guns and a phalanx close-in weapons system.
More than 300 sailors serve aboard Barry. Their jobs are highly specialized, requiring both dedication and skill. The jobs range from maintaining engines to handling weaponry along with a multitude of other assignments that keep the ship mission-ready at all times, according to Navy officials.
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.
“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.”
Bynoe has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I’m proud to have earned my current rank of petty officer second class,” said Bynoe. “This was one of the first major goals that I had in my career, and it feels good to have succeeded in completing that goal.”
Bynoe serves a Navy that operates far forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation’s prosperity and security.
“Serving in the Navy offers many opportunities to travel,” said Bynoe. “My first deployment was in 2022, and we sailed the waters off Korea.”
Bynoe is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.
“I’d like to send a shoutout to my sister, Lelonie Bell,” added Bynoe.
