Heather Weeks poses during a video interview detailing her military experience during the 2026 Women Veterans Day observance at VA Tennessee Valley Healthcare System in Nashville, Tenn., June 16. Weeks joined the Navy to expand her horizons past the town she grew up in. Initially interested in serving as a nurse, Weeks instead found herself in an unexpected career field - the Seabees - specifically the occupation of construction mechanic. Despite having little mechanical experience, Weeks accepted the challenge and entered a profession where women were still a rarity. (U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs photo by Bailey Breving)
