LTJG Rachel Wright
MID-ATLANTIC TRAINING GROUP DIRECTOR
Her involvement with the US Naval Sea Cadets, particularly as part of the Nashville LPD-13 Division, showcases her commitment to service and leadership. Completing her first COTC at Latimer in July 2023 and being recognized as Officer of the Year for Region 089 in February 2024 are remarkable achievements. Her recent role as the TSCG03-TN/AL Training Group Director since January 2024 is a testament to her leadership skills and expertise. It's truly inspiring to see individuals making significant contributions both in their professional careers and in service organizations.
