Jackey Sanders
Tool Clerk
Three years at NNS

“I enjoy the people and the interactions. Everybody has a different name for different tools and sometimes I have to ask what they’re using it for to know what to grab them. I always have a positive attitude, and I’m always curious about what part of the ship someone is working on. I did 20 years in the Navy, and the biggest ship I was on was a guided missile cruiser. I enjoy giving back to the new generation of U.S. Navy personnel and giving them the chance to make some of the good memories that I have from my time serving.”

The series features shipbuilders’ photos and their brief statements. If you or another shipbuilder you know is interested in being highlighted, email [email protected]. ​
