Petty Officer 2nd Class Faustino Perez, a native of Glendale, serves aboard USS Fitzgerald, a U.S. Navy warship operating out of San Diego, and participating in the biennial Rim of the Pacific exercise in and around the Hawaiian Islands.
Perez graduated from Apollo High School in 2022.
“Growing up I learned to do the job the right way the first time,” Perez stated in a press release. “That has set me up for success.”
Perez joined the Navy two years ago. He serves as a gas turbine systems technician (mechanical).
RIMPAC is the world’s largest international maritime exercise. It is expected that 29 nations, 40 surface ships, three submarines, 14 national land forces, more than 150 aircraft and more than 25,000 personnel will participate.
“RIMPAC has been amazing seeing all of these foreign militaries coming together for a common goal,” Perez stated.
Perez also stated that he is working to earn a airframe power plant license.
