A Navy Hero of a Different Sort: The Act of a True Navy Man (And He Doesn’t Even Need To Go To War)
“Most of the time when things were going on, I was in a different place!” Nathan Maki says with a slight smirk on his face, referring to events like to 1994 Earthquake in Northridge, Calif. He says, when this “tragic” event happened, he was stationed in San Diego, Calif.
Now 54 years old, Maki is a retired Petty Officer of the First Class United States Navy as Hull Maintenance Technician One (HT1).

- Japan,
- South Korea,
- Taiwan,
- Hong Kong,
- Singapore,
- Sidney, Australia,
- Bali,
- The Philippines,
- And Bahrain (located in the Persian Gulf).
With each new destination, all he has to say is, “Each (place) is interesting in its own respect.”
Maki says his naval career began at the age of 18. He walked into the recruiters office, mainly due to lack of jobs elsewhere, and said, “I wanna join the Navy. From there, he went to Boot Camp in San Diego and then trained at a school in San Diego, Calif. as well as San Francisco, Calif. that specialized in Hull Maintenance.
