My name is Jeffrey Graham and I am a Petty Officer 3rd Class in the United States Navy. Before I joined, I did
theatre for 12 years of my life and also participated in the Boy Scouts of America. I performed in an "a capella"
quartet with a few friends of mine as well as the Comedy Sportz Improv Team in High School. I joined the
United States Navy because I was not really doing anything with myself and had lost my ambition and
determination. Upon signing up, I realized what I had gotten myself into.
But now, when I look back at what I have gone through, I couldn't be happier. I have seen more things than a
typical person will ever see in their lifetime. Ever seen a Harrier jet take off vertically from the deck in
person? What about war games with 7 U.S. vessels participating, or watched a hovercraft landing? Everyday,
these little things keep me going and keep me happy. As of right now, I am on my way over to the Middle East
for my six month deployment. I think that it should be very rewarding and very enjoyable. If it isn't, I only have
myself to blame after all.
Well, to all of you out there reading this, I wish you the best and I will send periodic updates that should be
posted on this website. I appreciate you taking some time out of your day to read a little bit about what is
going on with me and please, feel free to send me an e-mail sometime. I would be more than happy to
respond. Take care everyone; fair winds, and I will see you all in six months. :P
