GULFPORT, Miss. — Seaman Recruit Noble Robison, a native of D'Iberville, Mississippi, serves in the U.S. Navy assigned to Gulfport, Mississippi, home to the Atlantic Fleet Seabees.
Robison graduated from D'Iberville High School in 2023.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in D'Iberville.
“Growing up around Gulfport, I've seen a lot of Seabees and their hard-working ethics,” Robison said. “My childhood friends also taught me the importance of loyalty.”
Robison joined the Navy four months ago. Today, Robison serves as a builder.
“My father was in the Navy,” Robison said. “I wanted to follow in his footsteps, make something of my life, and make everyone close to me proud.”
Navy Seabees, formally known as naval construction forces, provide a wide range of construction in support of operating forces, including roads, bridges, bunkers, airfields and logistics bases. Additionally, they provide responsive support for disaster recovery operations, perform civic action projects to improve relations with other nations, and provide anti-terrorism and force protection for personnel and construction projects.
Whether serving in the construction force or in a supporting role, the sailors in Gulfport personify the “Can Do” attitude of Seabees and are ready to serve and support warfighters globally.

Robison has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.
“I am most proud of pushing myself through bootcamp,” Robison said. “I got a marksman ribbon while there, and I continue to excel through 'A' (technical) school, acing almost every test.”
Robison 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 gives me the biggest sense of pride,” Robison said. “Knowing I’d be the one to defend my country, so my loved ones don’t have to pushes me to do and be better.”
This year, the Navy is commemorating its contribution 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.
Robison is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.
“I want to thank my amazing mom, Angelina Robison, my awesome dad, Charles Robison, my siblings, Katie and Gabby Robison, my boyfriend and my friends for being my biggest support system,” Robison said. “The continuous love and reassurance from them keeps me going.”
Looking into the future, Robison has bigger plans.
“I want to be in the FBI, and I would like to have a café in the future,” Robison said. “I want to keep succeeding in life.”
