Seaman Lina Rose Deguerre, a native of North Bellmore, serves the U.S. Navy as a member of Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron (VRM) 50, one of the Navy’s new tilt-rotor aircraft squadrons, located in San Diego, California.
Deguerre joined the Navy two years ago. Today, Deguerre serves as a yeoman with Fleet Logistics Multi-Mission Squadron.
“I joined the Navy because the majority of my family has a history of serving in the military,” said Deguerre. “I was also looking for a career and to make some money. I am the first in my family to join the Navy.”
Growing up in North Bellmore, Deguerre attended Sanford H. Calhoun and graduated in 2018. Today, Deguerre relies upon skills and values similar to those found in North Bellmore to succeed in the military.
