A Tamaqua area native is captain of a guided missile destroyer that recently spent almost eight months on-station in the Yellow, East and South China seas.
And while his assignment took him half a world away, Cmdr. Chad Trubilla keeps his hometown on his mind.
âNo one achieves alone, and stretching as far back to my days as a student-athlete in Tamaqua, many people invested in me which continued through the Naval Academy and persists throughout my naval career,â Trubilla wrote in an email to the Standard-Speaker. âI alone may have command USS Rafael Peralta, but it was my family, friends, teachers, coaches, townspeople, and shipmates who share in the achievement.â
