Francisco(Huero)'s Story
Born and raised in the greater Phoenix area, I spent the majority of my youth in South Phoenix. I attended South Mountain High School from 1978 to 1980 and in 1985, I enlisted in the United States Navy. I completed the Navy's Air Traffic Control curriculum in 1986 and was subsequently assigned to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, WA. I welcomed the structure and discipline the military offered and midway through my first enlistment, I decided to make it a career. In the course of my 20 years on active duty, I was stationed in Tennessee, Washington State, San Diego, Nevada, and Florida.
My most memorable tour of duty was serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN. While assigned to this mighty warship, I set sail on 2 Western...Expand for more
Pacific (WESTPAC) deployments (Persian Gulf/North Arabian Sea) in support of the Global War on Terror. I visited Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Hawaii and San Diego. Following my first Western Pacific deployment, I advanced to the rank of Chief Petty Officer (E-7) and in 2001, I returned to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island, WA.
I ended my career where it all began and in 2005, after 20 years of active duty Naval service, I retired as a Senior Chief Petty Officer (E-8). In 2006, I started my second career as a civilian Air Traffic Controller and continue my military affiliation as a Department of Defense employee. I am currently living the dream in Washington State but plan on returning to the Valley of the Sun.
