U.S Navy Seaman Scott Nettrour, a 2017 graduate of North Allegheny High School, is assigned to Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.
He joined the Navy three years ago.
“Serving in the Navy offers many unique opportunities and great training,” said Nettrour. “There aren’t a lot of jobs where you can go dive and blow stuff up. This career also offers great opportunities to grow as a person.”
Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal provides high-risk, specialized explosive ordnance disposal training to U.S. and partner nation military and selected U.S. government personnel. The school trains approximately 2,200 students annually and prepares them morally, mentally and physically to succeed across the full range of military operations.
“Having a cadre of students who are eager to learn and extremely hardworking, ensures the future of our Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal community,” said Capt. Steven Beall, commanding officer, Naval School Explosive Ordnance Disposal.
With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials emphasize that the country’s prosperity is directly linked to a strong Navy.
“The Navy is always ready,” said Nettrour. “The Navy can be anywhere at any time. We help maintain peace around the world.”
Nettrour is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.
“I want to thank my family for all the support they’ve given me,” he said.
