 Join the Navy, see the world. For decades, this has been a potent recruiting tool that promises exotic locales for sailors, affording them the opportunity to experience cultures unlike their own. Masawa Air Base Japan is just one of those locations where some lucky sailors took part in a centuries-old tradition known as the Mikosha Festival, where they carried a portable Shinto shrine as priests prayed for another year of protection and good fortune. The year of the military diver is underway, and Panama City, Florida will celebrate alongside its military members. The mayor of Florida City, which is home to the Naval Diving and Salvation Training Center, issued a proclamation on May 4th, reaffirming the city's commitment to naval diving.

Navy Weeks allow sailors to introduce the Navy's mission to parts of the nation where it has a limited presence. For these stories and more, visit navy.no.
