MIDN 1/C Nolan Hernandez

I am from a small town in Pennsylvania called New Tripoli where there is more livestock than there are people. In my free time, I enjoy hunting, fishing, playing guitar, and hanging out with my friends. I attend the University of Pittsburgh where I study Information Science and am on track to graduate with a bachelor’s degree.  After graduating high school, I went to Great Lakes, Illinois where I spent about a month at Recruit Training Command learning about basic militarization and damage control. The summer after my Junior year, I went to Naval Air Station Jacksonville where I was attached to VUP-19 and learned more about life as a Naval Aviator. I hope to someday fly jets but would be happy with any platform. I have recently been selected as a Student Naval Aviator and will head to Pensacola, Florida for flight training after I commission in May.
