Navy awareness is essential in recruiting America’s best and brightest for the Navy. To assist in the recruiting effort in Colorado and Wyoming, five educators representing Prairie View, Central, McLain Community, Kelly Walsh, and Standley Lake High Schools participated in the Educators Orientation Visit (EOV) sponsored by the U.S. Navy.
The EOV is a Navy Recruiting Command program that focuses on showing educators various facets of the Navy and the many career paths and opportunities available to students.
One of the highlights of the visit was the group’s tour of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt (CVN 71). In addition to the carrier, the team was given a tour of the Damage Control & Fire Fighting training school and could fly an MH-60R Sea Hawk helicopter in the HSM-35 Squadrons flight simulator. The next day consisted of a tour of Explosive Ordnance Disposal MU3, a cruise on an amphibious assault craft with Assault Craft Unit 1, and ended with Naval Special Warfare Detachment/Naval Special Warfare Center tour.
“Each Parlor of the trip was informational and gave me a new insight and understanding of the Navy,” said Nicholas Lamp, an Assistant Principle with Central High School in Cheyenne, WY. “I appreciated the opportunity to see such a variety of services that the Navy has to offer and appreciated the time each person took to educate us.”
Navy Talent Acquisition Group Rocky Mountain encompasses the states of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and parts of Idaho, Nebraska, and Kansas, providing Navy Recruiting services from more than 30 dispersed offices.
