 Each year, every Navy ship, station and command around the world chooses its sailor of the year based on leadership, professionalism, dedication and superior performance. Seaman Kaylin Jackson Smith was at this year's ceremony to give you the details. Vice Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Michelle Howard announced the 2015 Chief of Naval Operations shore sailor of the year during a ceremony held at the Pentagon in Washington March 30th. Howard awarded hospital corpsman first class Jessica Wintland as this year's winner. It's a very humbling feeling. All the candidates are outstanding, but really what it all comes back to is that we're all serving and we're serving our sailors and we're trying to instill that sense of pride and make the Navy better. Stay tuned to All Hands Magazine for an in-depth look at this year's shore sailor of the year.
