Airman Maya Davis, a native of Phoenix, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to the Center for Naval Aviation Training Technical Unit Whidbey Island, where sailors learn the skills needed to ensure aircraft are mission-ready.
Davis graduated from Barry Goldwater High School, of Deer Valley Unified School District, in 2023.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Phoenix.
“Growing up, the greatest lesson I learned was to always be a nice person,” Davis said. “This attitude has gotten me very far.”
Davis is a student developing the skills required for naval aviation warfighting. Students are taught the requirements and skills needed to be successful in their careers. Instructors and staff are experts in the subject matter they teach and they provide cutting-edge technical training that transforms students into mission-ready warfighters.
Davis joined the Navy a year ago. Today she serves as an aviation electronics technician.
“My sister and brother-in-law were a huge inspiration to me and encouraged me to be the best version of myself,” she said.
The Center for Naval Aviation Training Technical Unit Whidbey Island provides two shipboard aircraft firefighting courses in a live fire training environment where sailors learn to use essential teamwork and communication skills to be successful. Shipboard firefighting is a critical skill set every sailor deploying on board a ship must possess to save lives and equipment in the event of an emergency.
