Salty Dog

Salty Dog is nautical slang for an experienced sailor who has spent much of their life aboard a ship at sea or a term used to describe an ornery sailor.

Navy Veteran Petty Officer First Class Kimberly Tessa considers herself a "salty dog".  Kim served as an Aviation Structural Mechanic from 1993-2002.  She worked on SH60B while stationed at Naval Station Mayport and P-3C while stationed at Naval Air Station Jacksonville.  Kim was part of Operation Enduring Freedom.  Presently, Kim is a National Account Manager for James Hardie.  Kim likes to reminisce on her time deployed overseas while sipping on a Pina Colada and relaxing with her dogs, Sullivan, Blue, Stella and Porter.  Now she can enjoy this pina colada candle.
