Lt. j.g. Ray Sgambati, a native of West Islip, is serving aboard USS Wasp, a U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship operating out of Norfolk, Va.
Sgambati graduated from West Islip High School in 2016.
The skills and values needed to succeed in the Navy are similar to those found in West Islip.
“Having attention to detail was always stressed to me as a kid, as well as the importance of having mental toughness,” Sgambati said. “In the Navy, when you are on month seven of the deployment and you just want to go home, you need to have mental toughness to get through. Attention to detail is also important because the little things are easy to miss, but that is what matters. You cannot just gloss over the details.”
