Tis the season… Hospital Corpsman 1st Class Rose Ann Lumoljo, NHB Primary Care leading petty officer, shared her holiday memories when stationed on the amphibious dock landing ship, USS Ashland (LSD 48), forward deployed to Japan from May 2021 to June 2023. “It was one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of my life,” exclaimed Lumoljo. “It was an unaccompanied tour and my first time being away from my family, especially my son. Reflecting on the holidays I missed, I remember the heartache of knowing my 5-year-old son celebrated two seasons of holidays without me,” continued Lumoljo. “While it was difficult to be apart, I take pride in serving my country and honoring the commitment I made when I chose this path. This sacrifice has reinforced my resilience and deepened my appreciation for both my family and the mission I serve.” This year will be spent with friend and family, with a lot of holiday-themed games planned (Official Navy photo by Douglas H Stutz, NHB/NMRTC Bremerton public affairs officer).
