Worcester Native Serves at Fleet Weather Center San Diego
SAN DIEGO – Most Americans rely on weather forecasts to plan their daily routine. The U.S. Navy is no different. With numerous ships, submarines and airplanes deployed in the U.S. Pacific Fleet’s area of operations, sailors stationed at Fleet Weather Center San Diego, make it their primary mission to monitor weather conditions in support of the fleet’s daily operations.
Petty Officer 1st Class John Campbell, a 2011 Worcester Technical High School graduate and native of Worcester, Massachusetts, is one of these sailors serving at the Fleet Weather Center, providing full-spectrum weather services to shore-based commands and afloat naval units.
As a Navy aerographer’s mate, Campbell is responsible for keeping the fleet safe by providing detailed weather forecasts.
