U.S. Navy takes Huntsville native around world

Derrick Graham was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama, but before he became an engineering technician with the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Command, he traveled the world for 20 years as a Hospital Corpsman in the U.S. Navy. He said, “I graduated from high school in 1990 and I gave myself a goal. I said, ‘Okay, you’ve got two years to get a career and get started.’ Two years passed and I didn’t have anything, and I was bussing tables at a fast-food place when a couple of Navy guys came in. One of the dudes left me his card and he said, ‘Anytime you’re ready for a real job, come check us out.’”
