ewly-appointed Boatswain’s Mate 2nd Class Jason Reese receives his Certificate of Appointment from Navy Capt. Rafael C. Facundo, NSA Souda Bay’s commanding officer, during his meritorious advancement ceremony on April 9 in front of Building 1. Reese, a native of Chicago, has been in the Navy for 6 years and at NSA Souda Bay for 2 years. Reese is a member of Port Operations and is a qualified coxswain. He drives Port Operations boats, and places an oil boom around ships as they arrive at the NATO Marathi Pier Facility. Reese said advancing to second class means furthering his knowledge of his rate and the Navy. “Being a second class to me means stepping up into more of a leadership position, not only within my own division, but in the command as a whole,” said Reese.
