Name: Travelyan Walker

How long have you lived in your neighborhood? Since April 2021
What Branch of the Military did you serve? United States Navy
Years of Service: four
Did you receive any recognition you would like to share?
Earned the title of Fleet Marine Force (FMF) officer while deployed with Marines. The course is designed to instruct sailors in everything Marine Corps, like rank structure, history, field communication, tactical fundamental procedures, security fundamentals, and so much more.
Do you have a military family history?
Both my parents served in the United States Army. Alicia’s dad also served in the Army.
As a veteran, could you share some of your background? (rank, service, where you were stationed or deployed, what countries have you lived in? etc.)
Lieutenant Commander stationed at naval hospital Camp Lejeune and deployed with a forward resuscitative surgical system (FRSS) to Spain, Italy, and Greece as the surgical support for a Special Purpose Marine Air Ground Task Force (SP-MAGTF) running missions out of Northern Africa.
What was your favorite experience and/or location you served?
My favorite experience was being in the Navy but being stationed at a Marine Corps base. This required me to know both rank structures, wear both USN and USMC uniforms, and meet both physical fitness regulations. Oorah!
How are you involved in the neighborhood community?
COVID-19 precautions prevented us from being as involved in the neighborhood community as we would have liked. We are super excited to really start to get to know our community.
What is your current career?
General surgeon at Northeast Georgia Health System in Braselton
What would you tell someone who just moved into the neighborhood?
Purchase a golf cart and start exploring the many wonderful things our neighborhood has to offer.
