Entire Ala. Family Enlists in the Navy

[Champ]

LOCUST FORK, Ala. - Navy recruiter Wendy Chunn visited the McIntyre home hoping to persuade their 18-year-old daughter to enlist. The sales pitch worked better than she had imagined: The entire family signed up.

Brandi showed interest in joining the military last May, so her father, Kerry McIntyre, contacted the Navy recruiting office. Kerry had served in the Army during the late 1980s and early '90s and also served briefly in the Army Reserve.


Kerry McIntyre told Chunn his 19-year-old son, Jamie, also was interested in military service. At the time, Jamie and his mother, Angela, were attending Gadsden State Community College.


After reading pamphlets for the Navy's nuclear engineering program, Jamie's career aspirations changed. "He thought, `Wow, I could really do this,'" Brandi said.


In a few months Jamie will head for active duty — as will Brandi, who signed up to be a culinary specialist.
