摘要：I joined the Navy to go to sea. I grew up on black and white, World War II movies. Nothing was more fascinating or inspiring to me than the Victory at Sea series. But I never really considered the Navy as a career. Women didn't join the Navy. Then one day in 1983 I walked through my high school counselor's office and saw a poster for the U.S. Naval Academy-at the forefront of the poster was a female midshipman. Six years later I graduated from Annapolis with orders to my first ship, USS Niagara Falls (AFS 3), homeported out of Agana, Guam. I found myself deploying to some of the same waters I had followed in Victory at Sea.
