Lt. Cmdr. Alison Hoyt (ret), United States Navy
By Michael Schlesinger
There is an expression “join the Navy and see the world.” Until women were integrated into the United States armed forces, this expression was reserved only for men who wanted to make a career of Navy service. Lt. Cmdr. Alison Hoyt (ret) is living proof that women can have a career in the Navy and “see the world.”
Alison, a lawyer, joined the Navy serving as a member of the Judge Advocate General’s Corps. Her assignments ran from San Diego, an hour from where she grew up, to serving as legal advisor on a Navy ship sailing in the Persian Gulf. She also served in Japan, Germany, Diego Garcia, Djibouti, Singapore, Iraq. Her stateside assignments allowed the opportunity to earn her Masters in International Law from University of San Diego Law School.
