My mom, Angela Yvonne Hilliard, was a Boiler Technician, but she wanted to be a Hospital Corpsman. I guess I’m living her dream. This is her boot camp photo from 1995. Unfortunately, she was medically discharged six months after she enlisted. I knew deep down she would have been an amazing sailor. If it wasn’t for her enlisting in the Navy, I would not be here. She has been through hardships I wouldn’t put on my worst enemy. She is resilient and the strongest woman I know. HN Gabriella Hagens is an Optometry Technician at Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command, Parris Island.
