 My name is Courtney Wanamaker. I'm an HTFN from Rainier, Oregon. I'm a home maintenance technician, which involves a lot of welding or brazing as well as metal fabrication and CHT, which is Plexium Holding and Transfer, which is consistent of the shipwork plumbing system. The Navy was a good choice for me because my grandfather was actually the Navy. He was the chief and when I was younger I liked to think that I was a lot like him. And so I just decided that instead of going to college that I tried a new experience, that's why I decided to go on the family tradition and try out the Navy. My career goals are ultimately to be successful really. I would like to, if I stay in the Navy, I'd like to eventually make chief, if not senior chief or higher. And if I get out as a Navy, I'd like to take advantage of the education opportunities and go into the medical field I think eventually. The people that I work with are really great people and I know that if I don't keep going and get the job done then it definitely affects people that I work with. I'm always outgoing and optimistic, always ready to work and wanting to get things done around the ship and keep everyone else around me in a positive mood.
