Newly promoted Yeoman 1st Class Reginald Theophilus Parker stands beside his personal and professional mentor, Alphonso Braggs, in November 2023. Braggs, 65, retired from the U.S. Navy and from federal civil service after a combined 40 years as an active-duty Submariner and Navy civilian. His passion for public service led him to his current mission — mentoring Navy Sailors. In 2007, Braggs returned to federal service and worked in a variety of roles: as an office assistant for the Internal Revenue Service, as a security assistant for Joint Base Pearl Harbor (JBPHH), and in 2023, Braggs retired from federal civilian service after working as a senior management analyst for Commander, Navy Region Hawaii (CNRH) for three years. Braggs finds himself at the top of the world again – this time figuratively – as he continues the important work of public service by mentoring Sailors. Parker is one of his mentees who shared the positive impact that his guidance has had on their careers and relationships. (U.S. Navy photo courtesy of Yeoman 1st Class Reginald Theophilus Parker)
