Daleville native honored as Sailor of the Quarter on Navy warship
DALEVILLE, Ala (WDHN) — A Daleville native has been honored as the Junior Sailor of the Quarter in March on the amphibious assault carrier USS Tripoli.
According to a release from the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service, Aviation Boatswain’s Mate 3rd Class Dashawn Moseleypalmer was selected for his outstanding performance of duty.
The DVIDS says Moseleypalmer ran quality control for aircraft fuel for Tripoli’s aviation operations during the ship’s first deployment from May to November 2022.
“I specifically work in the quality surveillance lab,” Moseleypalmer told DVIDS. “I run tests on fuel samples to make sure that the fuel meets standards. If there is sediment and water in the fuel above a certain level, we can’t give it to the aircraft, or it could damage the engines. I run tests on the fuel to make sure it’s up to par.”
Moseleypalmer graduated from Daleville High School in 2019 and joined the Navy shortly after.
