Chapter 1

How to explain a Navy Sailor to your child

A Navy sailor works on a big ship out on the ocean, taking care of all the things that keep the ship running safely. Some sailors steer the ship and watch the radar screens to see what's around them. Others work in the engine room, fixing motors and checking pipes. Some cook meals for hundreds of people, or help doctors take care of sailors who get sick. They work as a team, because everyone on the ship needs each other to do their job well.

Navy sailors help keep the ocean safe for everyone who uses it. They rescue people whose boats get stuck in storms, and they make sure other ships can travel safely from place to place. When there's an emergency, like a big hurricane, sailors bring food, water, and doctors to people who need help. The work they do means families can get the things they need from faraway places, and people can feel safer knowing someone is watching over the water.
