 I am Tap the Strobel. I'm a lieutenant, a submarineer, and I'm from Bowie, Maryland. I knew about the Naval Academy, and I've always wanted to go there. So for me, it was a challenge, and I knew I wanted to be a part of the best Navy in the world. Being on a submarine is...it's an extremely unique environment. It's really hard to describe, but it was a lot of fun. When I got to the submarine, it wasn't about being a trailblazer or being the first. It was about doing a job. It's not about where you came from or whether you're male or female. It's really about what you bring to the table. I like to go running. I like to go to the beach. I really like staying active and going outside. And the Navy has definitely helped out with that. The Navy has been a great fit for me, especially the submarine force. I originally chose to go with submarines because I heard that the environment was, you know, extremely unique and tight-knit. And when I got to the sub, I wasn't disappointed that camaraderie is unparalleled. And that for me was one of the best parts about being a submarineer is the people that you get to work with.
