SAN ANTONIO, Texas (July 25, 2022) – Rear Adm. Darin K. Via, Navy Deputy Surgeon General, and Hospital Corps Force Master Chief Michael J. Roberts, presented the Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC) of the Year awards today during the opening ceremony of the Armed Forces Operational Medicine Symposium. The conference will conclude July 29.
The following enlisted medical personnel were recognized by Navy Medicine:
Shore Command IDC of the Year, Chief Hospital Corpsman, (HMC) Jessica Bova, Littoral Combat Ship Squadron (LCSRON) 2, homeported at Naval Station Mayport, Jacksonville, Fla.
Boya has since transferred to Naval Talent Acquisition Group, Houston. Regarding receiving the award, she said, “It shows my hard work and perseverance paid off in being recognized and honored for my work. Without my team being the rock stars they are, I wouldn’t have been able to take on the tougher jobs within the command to stand out.”
“Teamwork makes the dream work,” said Boya. “Balancing the job is the one thing you must be able to do. Hopefully, this honor shows that I have what it takes to take on more responsibility and tougher assignments.”
