#014 - Andrea Howard '15 - Submarine Junior Officer and Marshall Scholar The Academy Insider Podcast - Your Guide to The Naval Academy Experience
-
- Society & Culture
I'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.
