Most Americans rely on weather forecasts to plan their daily routine. The U.S. Navy is no different. With numerous ships, submarines and airplanes deployed in the U.S. Pacific Fleet’s area of operations, sailors stationed at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Hawaii, make it their primary mission to monitor extreme weather conditions in support of the fleet’s daily operations. Lt. Stephanie Geant, a 2008 Cardinal McCarrick High School graduate and native of South River, has served in the Navy for six years and is serving at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center.
