Air Traffic Controller 2nd Class Aaron Gnagy, a Pleasanton native serving in the Navy at Camp Lemonnier in Djibouti, has been featured recently by a national military news service that shines the spotlight on U.S. service members working to protect their country around the globe.
Gnagy was featured in the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service’s (DVIDS) Spotlight series earlier in December, which seeks out to tell the stories of the average service member stationed abroad, bringing to light their backgrounds and current activities.
Gnagy is the ground control tower liaison for air operations at Camp Lemonnier Djibouti — a U.S. Naval Expeditionary Base near the intersection of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden in eastern Africa — where DVIDS officials say he is responsible for “issuing ground movement instructions and for coordinating with foreign and coalition air operation controllers.”
“I’ve made many sacrifices, such as time away from my family and events in life that I’ve missed, while being in the Navy,” Gnagy told DVIDS. “However, I’m proud of the qualifications that I’ve earned as well as the friends that I’ve made during my time in the Navy.”
