OAK HARBOR, Wash.- Airman Maya Davis, a native of Phoenix, Arizona, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to the Center for Naval Aviation Training Technical Unit (CNATTU) Whidbey Island, where sailors learn the skills needed to ensure aircraft are mission-ready.
Davis graduated from Barry Goldwater High School in 2023.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Phoenix.
“Growing up, the greatest lesson I learned was to always be a nice person,” said Davis. “This attitude has gotten me very far.”
Davis is a student developing the skills required for naval aviation warfighting. Students are taught the requirements and skills needed to be successful in their careers. Instructors and staff are experts in the subject matter they teach and they provide cutting-edge technical training that transforms students into mission-ready warfighters.
Davis joined the Navy one year ago. Today, Davis serves as an aviation electronics technician.
“My sister and brother-in-law were a huge inspiration to me and encouraged me to be the best version of myself,” said Davis.
CNATTU Whidbey Island provides two shipboard aircraft firefighting courses in a live fire training environment where sailors learn to use essential teamwork and communication skills to be successful. Shipboard firefighting is a critical skill set every sailor deploying on board a ship must possess to save lives and equipment in the event of an emergency.
According to Navy officials, CNATTU’s mission is to produce resilient sailors and Marines with the necessary knowledge and skills to troubleshoot and maintain aircraft systems. These high-quality trained maintainers will provide the fleet with the aircraft readiness needed to succeed in combat.
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.
Davis 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.”
Davis has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I am most proud of being able to say that I’m part of the U.S. Navy,” said Davis.
Davis can take pride in serving America through military service.
“Serving in the Navy gives me a greater purpose in life,” said Davis. “It’s a great honor.”
