Thankful for the men and women who bravely serve to defend our Country. Thank you Christian Tucker, from Enterprise!

Petty Officer 1st Class Christian Tucker, a native of Enterprise, Alabama, is training sailors to continue the U.S. Navy’s 125-year tradition of service under the sea.
Tucker graduated from Enterprise High School in 2017.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Enterprise.
“Growing up in Alabama right off a military base showed me the importance of the military and how every piece of the country has a part in defending this country,” Tucker said.
Tucker joined the Navy eight years ago. Today, Tucker serves as an information systems technician (electronic warfare) and is an instructor at Naval Submarine School, training sailors to serve in the submarine force.
“I joined the Navy because all of my family has been in the military,” Tucker said. “My dad was in the Army, my stepdad was in the Army, both of my grandfathers were in the Air Force, my grandmother was in the Navy, my uncle was in the Navy and my stepbrother is in the Air Force.”
Located aboard Naval Submarine Base New London, Naval Submarine School is where officers and enlisted sailors learn the basic knowledge needed to join operational submarine commands in the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. Once in the fleet, this foundation allows sailors to build competence and proficiency in operating and maintaining submarines and all their systems. The school also provides refresher and advanced training to members of the submarine force and those supporting submarine commands to increase proficiency in specific skills.
