“I saw my dad do great things with very little,” says Tina. “He was paralyzed, but that didn’t stop him from living life to the fullest. It is because of my dad that I have always looked at obstacles as opportunities.”

It was this can-do, self-reliant attitude that first attracted Tina to the Navy. “I grew up in a really small town, and I always saw the same people doing all the same things,” Tina recalls. “For me, I just wanted more. I wanted to do something different. I wanted to be independent, and I was looking for a challenge. So that’s why I joined the Navy while still in high school on the Delayed Entry Program.”
