Sailor of the Week, Mar 4 - 11, 2011: AWO2 Stephen A. Gramza

Posted by NavyDads Admin (Paul) on March 3, 2011 at 9:15pm in Sailor of the Week

 

AWO2 Stephen A. Gramza graduated from Great Lakes in May of 2008. After spending a month in the THU, he then shipped out to Pensacola, Fl. to begin his training as an Air Warfare Systems Operator. After successfully completing NACCS, he then joined VP-30 to further his training. He decided to go non-acoustic about a month into his training.

 

In December of 2009, he got married to the lovely lady you see in the picture. Stephen and Ashley have made their home in Jacksonville, FL. where Stephen is stationed and flies with The Pelicans of VP-45. Among other duties, Stephen operates the radar systems on board the P-3 Orion Sub Hunter. He is working very hard to earn his warfare wings and is very close. He passed his "check ride" and goes for his boards in late March.

 

Stephen is an avid sports fan. He and Ashley attended the Gator Bowl last year to see his beloved Michigan Wolverines play! The picture of them was taken as they were preparing to attend the Navy Ball last year. 

 

Trust me when I say that his mom and dad could not be prouder!
