After performing maintenance and ensuring the life raft passes inspection, Shop 89 Fabric Worker Apprentice Zykeara Hinton securely seals the life raft container with a metal band strap. “Before becoming an apprentice approximately six months ago, I served eight years in the U.S. Army as a cable system installer. When I got out of the Army to start a family, I still wanted to serve my country in some sort of capacity,” said Hinton. “I was always boots on the ground. Now, not only am I learning a new trade I’ve never done before, but I am working on equipment, materials and tools I never had to use in the Army, plus I am also learning the Navy’s way of doing things.”
