May God Bless you and your fellow sailors.

It is a different world, for sure. Andrea Bill loves the sea but traded in that career for a job managing a dive shop after a lot of years being an assistant ship Captain and scuba diving instructor on cruise ships. The glass ceiling on civilian ships for the office of ship Commander or Captain is an intense as in the military. So it is unsual for a woman to get past that barrier.

take good care of the ship and of national security. many lives depend on you and on your crew.
