A group of seven Sailors from Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center (FLC) Norfolk took part in a "career day" at Oceanair Elementary School in Norfolk April 28.

The command has a long standing relationship with the school and participates in various events there throughout the year.

NAVSUP FLC Norfolk Sailors joined volunteers from many areas outside the military, including firemen, state police, television reporters and many others who set up displays and visited children from grades kindergarten through 5th grade.

"I loved presenting my career for the Navy to the kids, so many of them told us of their aspirations to be cops, firefighters, chefs, etc. not even realizing that all of those jobs can be done in the Navy as well," said Logistics Specialist Seaman Nicole Junod. "A lot of them seemed genuinely interested and had a family member in the service as well so they could relate, which made talking to them a bit easier."

In addition to logistics specialists, the Sailors included those from other ratings, such as yeoman, culinary specialist, gunner's mate and hospital corpsman.

Logistics Specialist Seaman Apprentice Tiffany White said she was really impressed by how the children were so open to learn about what the members of the group did in the Navy, and had advice for those who might consider attending an event where they speak to children.

"Be prepared to be asked anything," she said.

NAVSUP FLC Norfolk, one of eight fleet logistics centers under NAVSUP GLS, provides operational logistics, business and support services to fleet, shore and industrial commands with 37 separate locations in three Navy regions.

NAVSUP GLS provides global logistics for a global Navy. The organization is made up of more than 6,300 military and civilian logistics professionals operating from 105 locations worldwide providing an extensive array of integrated global logistics and contracting services to Navy, Marine Corps, joint operational units, and allied forces across all warfare enterprises.
