MILLINGTON, Tenn. – Arturo Macaraig, of Norfolk, Virginia, supports the U.S. Navy as a civilian employee assigned to Naval Medical Readiness Logistics Command (NMRLC) Williamsburg, Virginia.
Macaraig graduated from Padre Vicente Garcia Memorial Academy in the Philippines in 1992. Additionally, Macaraig has an associate degree in applied science engineering technology from East Coast Polytechnic Institute University.
Supporting the Navy as a civilian is meaningful to Macaraig.
“Serving the Navy as a civilian employee means a lot to me,” Macaraig said. “I have always wanted to serve the military and contribute my skill set for the betterment of this country.”
Headed by Capt. Christopher Barnes, NMRLC develops, acquires, produces, fields, sustains, and provides enduring lifecycle support of medical materiel solutions to the Fleet, Fleet Marine Force, and Joint Forces in high-end competition, crisis, and combat. At the forefront of Navy Medicine’s strategic evolution, NMRLC is well positioned to be the Joint Force’s premier integrated medical logistics support activity.
This year, the Navy is commemorating its contributions to the nation’s defense as the United States celebrates 250 years of independence.
According to Navy officials, for more than 250 years, the Navy has sailed the globe defending freedom and protecting prosperity.
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.
Macaraig supports a Navy that operates far forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation’s prosperity and security.
“I am proud to serve the Navy and will continuously support the men and women in uniform,” Macaraig said.
Macaraig is grateful for those who helped make a career as a Navy civilian possible.
“I want to thank everyone who helped me out to get to this point in my life, my co-workers and my family,” Macaraig said. “I am also thankful to be given the opportunity to support the needs of the active duty and the command. I want to thank America for the opportunities.”
