GEORGETOWN, Texas – (April 16, 2021) Naval Aviator Lt. Kristina Oberst, of Old Greenwich, Conn., an officer programs recruiter assigned to Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) New England, talks with Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps students about her career as a MH-60R Seahawk helicopter pilot at East View High School during a Navy Promotional Day (NPD). “This was a great opportunity to showcase to the students the various careers the Navy has to offer,” said Oberst, a 2014 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy. “Flying is the best job in the Navy and I was happy to answer the students’ questions about flying.” An NPD is a proprietary recruitment program built specifically for the purpose of attracting the brightest, diverse college prospects, and showcasing opportunities for both military and civilian careers. The purpose of a NPD is to build and sustain strategic networks with high schools, universities and colleges. Its goal is to promote Navy Awareness within diverse and under-represented communities while building a pool of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) talent. Additionally, officers visited the campus as part of the Junior Officer Diversity Outreach (JODO) program which brings successful Naval officers, from diverse backgrounds and cultures, out of the fleet for a short time and places them face-to-face with students and community leaders around the country in an effort to show what is possible to achieve through Naval service. Navy Recruiting Command (NRC) consists of a command headquarters, three Navy Recruiting Regions, 26 NTAGs, and 64 Talent Acquisition Onboarding Centers (TAOCs) that serve more than 1,000 recruiting stations around the world. Their mission is to attract the highest quality candidates to assure the ongoing success of America’s Navy. (U.S. Navy photo by Burrell Parmer, NTAG San Antonio Pubilc Affairs/Released)
