FACSFAC VACAPES

Airman Apprentice Alexander Clarke, a native of Westbury, New York, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to Fleet Area Control and Surveillance Facility, Virginia Capes.

“I learned to be patient and to understand how to take directions and follow them,” Clarke said. "That has translated 100% into the Navy and gotten me off to a good start."

Clarke joined the Navy one year ago. Today, Clarke serves as an air traffic controller.

“I joined the Navy to carry on a family tradition started by my grandfather and continued by my mom,” Clarke said. "I also wanted direction in my life and to see what there was beyond my hometown.”
