Ensign Montesanti honored her past CHS NJROTC instructors by having Major Rory F. Meehan (USMC, Ret) have the distinct honor of acting as the Commissioning Officer to administer the Oath, and Barry M. Harvey (USN, Ret) was further honored as her “First Salute”. Also in attendance was Neal Peng, the current CHS NJROTC executive officer and recipient of a Navy ROTC Scholarship to Villanova University.
Montesanti will now take her skills to the fleet, and serve the country as a Surface Naval Officer onboard an amphibious assault ship in San Diego.
