A native son of Alabama who has risen through the ranks of the U.S. Navy to become a Rear Admiral will be taking part in Montgomery's much advertised Navy Week. Born and raised in the state's capital city, Rear Admiral Mike Brown, originally never saw himself in the armed forces.
In the midst of a nationwide recruiting crisis, the U.S. Navy has announced that its signature community outreach initiative is coming to Montgomery, Alabama. Navy Week, officials say, will give interested individuals and prospective recruits the opportunity to learn about the branch, its people, and its importance to national security and America's future prosperity.
