20 MILLINGTON, Tenn. As the Navy continues its phased distribution of the COVID-19 vaccination, Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) personnel are volunteering to be some of the first to receive the vaccine in the recruiting field. Since Jan. 4, more than 30 people assigned to NRC headquarters have received their first round of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The Navy is first offering the vaccine to essential healthcare workers, providers, emergency services and public safety personnel. The next phase includes mission-critical personnel by the command, followed by service members who are preparing to deploy within the next three months. After these personnel receive their vaccines, less critical service members and their beneficiaries will be able to volunteer to receive the vaccination. The Department of Defense (DoD) does not currently require service members to receive the vaccine; however, many Sailors have volunteered in an effort to reduce the spread of the virus.
21 CHICAGO (Jan. 29) Many child abuse victims work hard to break the cycle of abuse as they grow into adulthood. For St. Petersburg, Florida, native Michael T. Fisher, breaking that cycle was contrasted with another family pattern.
Fisher knew he had to make life changes, so he joined the Navy, and currently he is assigned to Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) Great Lakes as a Yeoman First Class. He holds the positions of command career counselor and operations administration officer.
As a child, Fisher experienced the effects of being raised in an alcoholic abusive environment along with a period of homelessness. Fisher always had hope for more in life, and stories of naval service passed on to him from his grandfather and other family members inspired and led him to his current path.
