Sergio Dawkins
Class of 1988
Navy, 8 Years
I served as an Operations Specialist and Recruiter during the years of 1988 - 1996. I had the pleasure of visiting more than 30 countries onboard the USS Barbour County (LST-1195) and USS Tarawa (LHA-1). Aboard the USS Barbour County I had the unfortunate pleasure of serving in the Persian Gulf during Operation Desert Storm.
I wouldn't trade my memories in the US Navy or attending West Charlotte High School for any amount of money. Each experience taught me so much about myself and life.
Go NAVY! Go WC!
