Fort Myers Native Promoted to Navy Rear Admiral
Fort Myers, Florida native Dianna Wolfson, the director of Fleet Maintenance for U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) Command, was promoted to rear admiral (lower half) during a ceremony at the USFF headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia Dec. 13. During the holiday season, it’s important to remember those from Southwest Florida who are serving in the military. Many of whom won’t be able to spend Christmas with their families. Someone from Fort Myers being promoted to Navy Rear Admiral is a huge deal.
“I have been blessed to work with the most amazing people and am grateful that the Navy has afforded me many opportunities in my career,” said Rear Admiral Wolfson. “I am honored to continue to serve our Navy and country.”
Rear Admiral Wolfson is responsible for overseeing all depot maintenance and modernization programs and requirements. That includes budget and funding for all aircraft carriers, submarines, surface ships and aircraft. The job also includes maintenance program matters related to Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Combat Systems and Intelligence equipment. Not enough? She’ll also be handling functional requirements of Maintenance and Modernization Information Technology systems utilized to plan and execute Navy maintenance. Try to fit all that on your Linkedin.
Hailing from Fort Myers, Florida, Rear Admiral Wolfson graduated from the United States Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, New York in 1996. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Marine Systems Engineering (Magna Cum Laude) and was commissioned in the Nuclear Power Officer Candidate Program.
Before her current assignment at USFF, Rear Admiral Wolfson served as the 50th Commander of Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility and Northwest Regional Maintenance Center. Then a second command tour as the 110th Commander at Norfolk Naval Shipyard.
Congratulations to Navy Rear Admiral Wolfson on your promotion.
Merry Christmas, and Thank You For Your Service from all us back here in Southwest Florida.
