Send us a textI'm joined by Andrea Howard who is a class of 15 graduate from the United States Naval Academy and currently serves as a submarine officer. Andrea was an Arabic and Political Science major at the academy.  She is a Marshall Scholar and pursued graduate education directly after graduation.  She earned a MSc in Global Governance and Diplomacy from Oxford and a MA in Science and Security from Kings College London.In this episode, we discuss all about being a submarine officer all the way from her decision of how she knew she wanted to become a submarine officer through her graduate education program, her time in Charleston, the nuclear training pipeline, and then actually reporting to her submarine to talk about being an operational submarine officer. It's a super fun episode. We provide a ton of insight and factual information into the process of becoming and being a submarine junior officer. We even touch on the topic of the relatively new experience for the Navy of a female officer on a submarine.You will be impressed by Andrea and really like her.  She is smart, thoughtful and does a great job in this episode of providing a lot of information on the life of a junior officer on a submarine and the process to get there.Be sure to review and subscribe to The Academy Insider with Grant Vermeer podcast on Apple Podcasts or where you listen to podcasts.Follow the Academy Insider on InstagThe Vermeer Group is a residential real company matching military families with trusted real estate teams across the country.  If you have any real estate questions at all, please text Grant at (650) 282-1964 or email [email protected] To stay most up to date with Grant, Naval Academy updates, and real estate insights, follow him on LinkedInThe mission of Academy Insider is to guide, serve, and support Midshipmen, future Midshipmen, and their families.Grant Vermeer your host is the person who started it all.
