Norfolk Naval Shipyard’s Pipefitter Shop (Shop 56) Pipefitter Jason Roldan uses the tools and knowledge he learned as a physical education teacher for elementary school kids and serving in the U.S. Navy for four years. “Working with elementary school-age children taught me patience and how to work with others. The Navy taught me discipline and what it meant to become an active member of a team with the same common goal. I didn’t realize how the lessons I learned in the teaching field and the Navy would become so beneficial to me at my job here at the shipyard.”
