Harmon graduated from West Mesa in 2023.
Harmon joined the Navy one year ago. Today, Harmon serves as an aviation machinist's mate.
“I joined the Navy to gain discipline,” said Harmon.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Albuquerque.
“I learned a lot of technical knowledge growing up and that's helped in my job in the Navy working on airplane engines,” said Harmon.
According to Navy officials, members of VRM-50 fly and maintain the CMV-22B Osprey, a vertical takeoff and landing tilt-rotor aircraft. VRM aircraft have increased operational range, faster cargo loading and unloading, increased survivability and enhanced communications compared to the C-2A Greyhound.
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.
Harmon serves a Navy that operates 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.”
Harmon has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I'm proud that I'm working on the qualifications required for my job,” said Harmon.
Harmon can take pride in serving America through military service.
“Serving in the Navy gives me an opportunity to protect my family,” said Harmon.
Harmon is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.“I want to thank my parents, Anna and Antoine, for pushing me to be a better person,” added Harmon. "I also want to send a shoutout to my brother, Gabriel, and my sister, Ashley."
