SAN DIEGO – Petty Officer 3rd Class Jahein Valcin, a native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serves the U.S. Navy at Amphibious Construction Battalion (ACB) 1 operating out of San Diego, California.
Valcin graduated from Pittsburgh Science and Technology Academy in 2022.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in Pittsburgh.
“Growing up, I learned to take advantage of every opportunity to talk about myself because not everyone gets the chance to be heard,” Valcin said. “In the Navy, what I have learned is that if you don’t speak up for your career and advocate for yourself, no one else will. I also learned that if you aren’t working to get your foot in the door, then no one is going to help you.”
