SAN DIEGO – Petty Officer 2nd Class Asya Fuller, a native of Red Oak, Texas, serves the U.S. Navy as a member of Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron (VRM) 50 located in San Diego, California.
Fuller joined the Navy 13 years ago. Today, she serves as an aviation maintenance administrationman supporting missions flown by the Navy’s newest long-range, medium-lift aircraft: the CMV-22B Osprey.
“My dad was in the Army and my aunt married a Navy sailor,” said Fuller.
“They inspired me and I knew the opportunities for school and travel would be possible too with military service.”
Growing up in Red Oak, Fuller attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts and graduated in 2005.
Today, Fuller uses the same skills and values learned in Red Oak to succeed in the military.
“Being from Texas, I learned southern hospitality,” said Fuller.
“ I have two ears to listen more than I speak and if I am speaking it needs to be important, so the ability to listen, pause and then speak has really helped me.”
These lessons have helped Fuller while serving in the Navy.
The CMV-22B is the Navy’s version of the U.S. Marines’ V-22 Osprey. It is designed to replace the C-2A Greyhound, which has provided logistical support to aircraft carriers for four decades.
