190515-N-YG104-0068 ARLINGTON, Va. (May 15, 2019) Interior Communications Electrician 1st Class Nicholas Natelli, U.S. Pacific Fleet Sailor of the Year, and Personnel Specialist 1st Class Angelita Baggoo, Navy Reserve Sailor of the Year, place a wreath near the gravesite of Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (MCPON) Delbert Black, the first MCPON, at Arlington National Cemetery during Sailor of the Year (SOY) week. The program was established in 1972 by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Elmo Zumwalt and Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy John Whittet to recognize an individual Sailor who best represented the ever-growing group of dedicated professional Sailors at each command and ultimately the Navy. SOY finalists participated in a variety of leadership, naval heritage and team-building events throughout the week around Washington D.C.
