For Ensign Jordan Baus, achieving his commission in the U.S. Navy was the culmination of over a decade of service and perseverance. His journey began in 2008 when he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps, serving with the 4th Marine Air Wing and Marine Air Logistics Squadron 41 (MALS-41) in support of C-130J operations. After years of dedication, including deployments with the Marine Active Reserves, Baus separated with hopes of commissioning as a Navy officer—a goal that faced multiple setbacks before he finally found success.

      Profiles in Professionalism: Personnel Specialist Seaman Timeece Grice

      NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES 02.10.2025 Story by Petty Officer 2nd Class Gabriela Isaza Navy Reserve - Navy Public Affairs Support Element West NORFOLK, VA – Raised in Norfolk, Virginia, Personnel Specialist Seaman Timeece Grice was always surrounded by the Navy, fostering a strong connection to its legacy and values. Grice’s stepfather served in the Navy as a logistics specialist, formerly known as a storekeeper. “Watching service members in uniform left a lasting impression on me and inspired a deep admiration for their dedication,” said Grice. “This ultimately motivated me to find a way to contribute, which led me to join the Navy.” Grice currently serves at Navy Reserve Center Houston as a Training and Administration of the Reserve (TAR) Sailor, providing full-time support to reservists who drill at the reserve center. A personnel specialist’s primary responsibility is to manage Sailors’ pay and orders for the command. “My role is crucial because I help ease the financial stress of many Sailors, enabling them to focus on the Navy’s mission,” she said. “Being able to provide that peace of mind to my fellow servicemembers is incredibly rewarding and makes a real difference in their ability to perform their duties.” Grice has only served in the Navy for one year and is already a hard charger. During her first year at her first command, Grice was awarded Sailor of the Quarter three out of four times. “Serving in the Navy means I can continue to fight for the legacy of my family and my country,” Grice remarked. “It gives me the opportunity to contribute to something greater than myself." Grice continues to uphold the Navy’s values of honor, courage, and commitment, embracing the challenges of service while making a meaningful impact on those around her.
