Fair winds and following seas to NCC(Sel) Reyes! ⚓️

A native of The Bronx, NCC(Sel) Reyes has served 14 years on active duty. Prior to arriving at NTAG Empire State, he served at NTAG Southwest, and spent the past 5 years here as Recruiter in Charge at Navy Recruiting Station Westchester Square, leaving a lasting impact on the command and the Sailors he’s led. He also carries 5 years of sea duty, the foundation that shaped his years as a recruiter. Adding to that legacy, NCC(Sel) Reyes was recently selected for Chief Petty Officer, a well-earned recognition of his leadership and dedication.

Having recently transferred to NTAG Jacksonville, his leadership and dedication leave a lasting mark on Empire State, and we know he’ll continue to excel in his next chapter, soon pinning on his anchors! Bravo Zulu, NCC(Sel) Reyes. Fair winds and following seas. ⚓️🙏
