260213-N-AT886-1063 PENSACOLA, Fla. (Feb. 13, 2026) Capt. Frank Axelsen, commander of Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) Pensacola pins a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal on Hospital Corpsman 3rd Class Blake Molinaro, assigned to NMRTC Pensacola during an awards ceremony held at Naval Hospital Pensacola, Feb. 13, 2026. Molinaro's decisive, off-duty actions demonstrated the critical real-world application of his Navy training. When faced with a high-stress crisis involving a special needs child, he expertly applied his behavioral health skills to de-escalate the situation and ensure the child's safety. His courage and initiative reflect the highest standards of personal readiness and professionalism inherent in the naval service.
