Welcome back to another episodes of Beers on the Pier! This week we bring on MA2 Parlan. Most folks may not be the biggest fans of MA's in the Navy, but luckily Parlan sheds a little light on why they act the way they do. Parlan helps us explore the world of a MA by taking us through MA "A" school, we talk about some of the various billets MA's hold and a few duty stations she was a part of. She shares briefly on both collaterals, evals, and the process on how to come back to active duty after doing some time with the reserves. Want to join the Navy and not get stuck on the boat? Tune in and see what the world of being a MA has to offer.
