230428-N-TH560-1254 WASHINGTON (April 28, 2023) Master Chief Gunner’s Mate Jessica Harrison, from Twin Falls, Idaho, is the first woman in the U.S. Navy to achieve the rank of E-9 in the gunner’s mate rating, a career field dating back to the birth of the Navy.
When asked how she did it, Harrison said, “not by myself; it's my Sailors, my mentors, my friends.” Harrison was promoted during a small ceremony inside the Delbert D. Black National Chief’s Mess at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C., April 28, 2023. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Jeanette Mullinax)
