NTTC Meridian would like to put PSSN Jusmin Torio in the spotlight for her exceptional efforts, hard work, and determination, earning her the Stennis Center of Excellence Award. This award is given for rising to the top of your class and attaining a 99.17 percent for Personnel Specialist (PS) (MOD 0).
Additionally, she participated in the volunteer project with the Blue Angels and Red Cross blood drive, which the community benefited from greatly. Her dedication and personal initiative exemplify what we expect from our Sailors in today’s Navy.
“I was born and raised in the Philippines. Growing up as an only child, I always aspired to be part of a larger community where I could challenge myself, build meaningful connections, and grow. I went on to graduate from Ateneo De Manila University with a Bachelor of Science in Business Management, specializing in International Business. While I valued my education, I knew I wanted to be part of something even greater. Joining the military was a bold decision I made with the ultimate aspiration of one day becoming an officer and a Naval Aviator. I saw service in the world’s greatest Naval force as an unparalleled opportunity to enhance both my personal and professional life. On March 19th, 2026, I proudly graduated from boot camp. The training was undoubtedly challenging, but taking on the responsibility of a Section Leader allowed me to truly embrace the experience, test my limits, and excel alongside my shipmates. Getting to experience the rewards of hard work, leadership, and solid camaraderie solidified my commitment to this path. Now, I am incredibly excited for my next chapter, as I have received orders to the USS FRANK CABLE in Guam. I cannot wait to get out there, see the world, and fully immerse myself in the Navy way of life. I am extremely thankful to my Recruit Division Commanders, PS "A" school instructors, as well as my family and friends for their unwavering support. I couldn’t have done it without you all. Hooyah Navy!!!”
