MILLINGTON, Tenn. — Chief Petty Officer Kimber Nash Dominguez, an aviation ordnanceman and native of Albemarle, was recently selected as Sailor of the Year. According to Navy officials, the SOY Program recognizes sailors who best represent the large number of superior dedicated professionals serving in a particular type of duty as assigned.
“This award is a direct reflection of all the hard work put in by my peers and sailors,” said Dominguez. “I am grateful for my mentors who have guided me throughout my career.”
“The most important part of my job is making sure the sailors that come through (CNATTU) are fully trained so when they go to the fleet they understand that they are the most valuable assets to the Navy,” said Dominguez.
“Dominguez is the most driven professional I have had the privilege to serve with in 33 years,” said (CNATTU) Lemoore’s commanding officer, Commander Ronnie Harper. “She cares as much about her shipmates as her job and does everything in her power to make sure the sailors and Marines that she leads are living up to her incredibly high standard. She is the consummate professional, who is an outstanding role model for all to emulate. We are very lucky to have her on our team. She is the total package.”
As a member of the U.S. Navy, Dominguez, as well as others at the command, know they are a part of a service tradition providing unforgettable experiences through leadership development, world affairs and humanitarian assistance. Their efforts will have a lasting effect around the globe and for generations of sailors who will follow.
