        NORFOLK, Va. — Petty Officer 3rd Class Carey Pershadsingh, a native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, serves the U.S. Navy assigned to Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 5.

The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Ft. Lauderdale.

“I learned from my own mistakes growing up,” Pershadsingh said. “When I came into the Navy, it was my goal to establish a better foundation for my future and to make that happen, I learned from my past not to get in with the wrong crowd. I’m very conscious of that every day.”
