NORFOLK, Va. – Most Americans rely on weather forecasts to plan their daily routine. The U.S. Navy is no different. With numerous ships, submarines and airplanes deployed in the U.S. Atlantic Fleet’s area of operations, sailors stationed at the Fleet Weather Center, in Norfolk, Virginia, make it their primary mission to monitor extreme weather conditions in support of the fleet’s daily operations.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Taylor Oberg, a 2009 Jack C.Hays High School graduate and native of Buda, is one of these sailors serving at the Fleet Weather Center, which is responsible for providing timely, comprehensive and tactically relevant information for ships, submarines, aircraft and other commands operating out of the Hampton Roads area.
