EVERETT, Wash. - Petty Officer 1st Class Joshua Krauth, a native of Cartersville, Georgia, recently completed reserve duty at Naval Station Everett in the Pacific Northwest.
Krauth graduated from Musely High School in 2005.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Cartersville.
“Growing up, I learned the value of hard work, honesty and doing the right thing for the right reason,” said Krauth.
Krauth joined the Navy 14 years ago. Today, Krauth serves as a machinist’s mate in the U.S. Navy Reserve.
“My grandfather served in the Navy,” said Krauth. “I wanted to serve as a way of following in his footsteps. I wanted to get more out of life than I would in another career.”
Naval Station Everett, one of only two Navy-owned deep-water ports on the West Coast, is home to the command staffs of Carrier Strike Group 11 and Destroyer Group 9, six U.S. Navy ships and one Coast Guard vessel. The base enhances the nation’s ability to accomplish strategic objectives by supporting U.S. Navy and Coast Guard forces, 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.
Krauth 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.”
Krauth has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I’m proud of the five Navy Achievement Medals I’ve earned in the Navy,” said Krauth. “I’m also proud that I used my Department of Veterans Affairs benefits to earn my supply chain management degree from the University of West Florida this year.”
Krauth can take pride in serving America through military service.
“Serving in the Navy means working as a team to get the mission done,” said Krauth.
Krauth is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.
“I want to thank all my family for their support and send a special shoutout to my grandfather for his encouragement,” added Krauth.
