“I chose to register because I have watched my parents all my life. They both served, so watching them every day going to work made me want to follow in their footsteps, see how successful they were and what they were able to provide for my sister and I.
Speaking to Racquel’s mother Tonya, she said she didn’t believe it when Racquel brought up the idea that she wanted to be in the Navy.
For her, she didn’t take her daughter seriously until Racquel began to prepare for enlistment.
“I was a proud mother. It took a while for her to get everything to fit in, but it was my baby and it was so proud,” Tonya added.
