currently in the Fleet. We worked with industry in the acquisition
            and construction of all Navy vehicles. I encouraged our nation’s youth,

            especially women and minorities, into Science and Technology, to provide the
            most diverse, outstanding engineers for our federal workforce.  Our efforts as
            federal employees kept our Navy #1.  I am proud to have been a federal

            employee who kept my country safe.


            I am Peter Hill, a true mustang, who saw military service from 1962 to 1993,

            beginning as an enlisted seaman and retiring as a Lieutenant Commander.
            Hailing from Boston, I enlisted in the U.S. Navy and did boot camp training at
            Great Lakes Naval Training Center.  After boot camp, I was assigned to
            Sonar Training Technical School located in Key West, Florida.  The Cuban

            Missile Crisis with Soviet Russia and Cuba was in place when I served aboard
            the USS Long Beach CGN9.

            I earned my degree in electrical engineering and in 1972 was commissioned as

            a Second Lieutenant in the Naval Reserves. I combined civilian and naval
            officer employment in a number of locales, namely Groton, Long Beach and the
            D.C. Navy Yard.  Notable was being leading Sonar Tech aboard the primary

            Anti-submarine Warfare platform protecting the first nuclear task force to circle
            the globe as a world demonstration of U.S. Naval power.  My sonar system kept
            Soviet subs at bay throughout the entire 67-day event.


            Later, as an electrical engineer in support of the Naval Sea Systems Command,
            I was tasked to upgrade the Navy's submarine fleet from vacuum tubes to solid
            state technology and counter various emergent threats as discovered.

            Finally, based on years of service experience aboard destroyers, the first
            Nuclear cruiser, aircraft carrier, and a number of SSN and SSBN submarines, I
            pursued a successful program to maximize ships' capabilities.  This was

            accomplished by combining the best aspects of all ships' design factors into
            each platform's revised baseline specifications.  In 2003, I retired from the U.S.
            Navy.  Now I actively serve my Bowie-Crofton community through the Naval
            Sailing Association and NARFE.



            I am Arthur Holloway and I served in the Naval Shipyard (NAVSEA) for 38
            years.  During my lengthy career, I spent most of my time as a Project and

            Training Department Manager at Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth,
            Virginia.  I had many other positions before becoming the Head of the
            Production Training Department.
