Lt. Cmdr. Juanita Hopkins, a native of Decatur, Georgia, serves in the U.S. Navy with Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command (NMRTC) San Diego, California.

Hopkins graduated from Columbia High School in 2004. Additionally, Hopkins graduated from Florida Agricultural & Mechanical University in 2008 with a bachelor’s degree in nursing.
Hopkins joined the Navy 16 years ago. Today, Hopkins serves as a nurse.

“I joined the Navy for the educational opportunities it presented,” said Hopkins. “As a young woman from a single-parent household, I knew that my mother did not have the financial security to fund my college expenses. However, not going to college wasn’t an option for me. I was fortunate enough to have my Navy Junior ROTC (NJROTC) instructors aid in my quest for scholarships.”
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Decatur.

“Lessons I learned growing up that have helped me succeed in the Navy are to treat people with kindness, dignity and respect regardless of the rank, title or position they hold,” said Hopkins. “Additionally, diversity is really important. Many of us are not exposed to the melting pot that is the Navy prior to leaving our hometowns, so you truly gain an appreciation for the vast experiences, perspectives and ideologies we all bring to the table. We can honor our hometowns by embracing one another.”

According to Navy officials, NMRTC’s mission is to prepare service members to deploy in support of operational forces, deliver high-quality healthcare services and shape the future of military medicine through education, training and research. NMRTC serves as the single point of contact in support of installation and operational commanders, providing medical information, support and over medical cognizance of the active duty and reserve force.

With 90% of global commerce traveling by sea and access to the internet relying on the security of undersea fiber optic cables, Navy officials continue to emphasize that the prosperity of the United States is directly linked to recruiting and retaining talented people from across the rich fabric of America.
Hopkins serves a Navy that operates forward, around the world and around the clock, promoting the nation’s prosperity and security.

“We will earn and reinforce the trust and confidence of the American people every day,” said Adm. Lisa Franchetti, chief of naval operations. “Together we will deliver the Navy the nation needs.”
Hopkins has many opportunities to achieve accomplishments during military service.

“The Navy instills in us the importance of teamwork and working together to accomplish the mission,” said Hopkins. “That said, my proudest accomplishment is any win we can achieve as a team. I am also proud of striving to support the overarching mission of medical force generation, warfighter readiness and the delivery of world-class care, anytime, anywhere.”
Hopkins can take pride in serving America through military service.

“Serving in the Navy provides the opportunity to have an impact beyond my local community and allows me to set a solid example for my children to follow,” said Hopkins. “It also means taking care of the responsibility entrusted to you as a leader and being sure to not only take care of the people you serve but also constantly looking back to help people coming up the ranks behind you.”
Hopkins is grateful to others for helping make a Navy career possible.

“There are a lot of people for whom I am thankful at this point in my career,” added Hopkins. “Back home, I’d like to thank my family and my NJROTC instructors for playing a huge role in where I am today.”
