Seeking a career path with adventure, lifelong prospects and family tradition, future sailor Ronald Drake enlisted into the U.S. Navy, Sept. 9.
Born in San Diego, Drake moved across five states while growing up as a military child. The experience traveling and the influence of his family helped shape his goals when deciding to join the Navy.
"I knew what I wanted to do," said Drake. "ASVAB prep and support from my family gave me a clear vision to follow my dreams."
Drake said he was excited to develop new skills in the military.
"The Navy was my focus because of all the different job opportunities they offer," said Drake. "My mom let me do my own thing and said never give up on what you want to do in life."
His mother, Master Chief Navy Counselor Sara Drake, recently transferred from Navy Talent Acquisition Group Miami to join NTAG New England as the Chief Recruiter on Aug. 30, 2021. She accompanied her son during his official swear-in at the Boston Military Entrance Processing Station.
"I am incredibly proud," said Drake. "I want him to be happy with his decision and to be satisfied. I firmly believe that starting this journey with the Navy will give him that."
