Petty Officer 1st Class Adebayo Adepoju, a native of Eruwa, Nigeria, protects America from cyber threats as a member of U.S. Fleet Cyber Command.
Information technology advances at a staggering pace. Practically all major systems on ships, aircraft, submarines, and unmanned vehicles are networked to some degree. This includes most combat, communications, engineering, and navigation systems. While connectivity provides the military with speed, agility, and precision, it also opens numerous attack opportunities for adept cyber adversaries.
Adepoju attended Methodist Grammar School in Bodija Ibadan and graduated in 2001. Today, Adepoju uses skills and values similar to those learned in Nigeria.
“I learned the importance of resilience,” said Adepoju. “We always look for opportunities to get better. Joining the Navy was a challenge I needed to learn from. I’m thankful for the lessons I learned growing up in Nigeria that I continue to use today.”

..."“I’m proud of being meritoriously advanced to my current rank and for my selection as Sailor of the Year,” said Adepoju. “On both occasions, my leadership recognized my small contribution to my team. I’m honored to serve as a role model for junior sailors both on and off duty.”
As Adepoju and other sailors continue to train and perform the missions they are tasked with, they take pride in serving their country in the United States Navy.
“My service in the Navy is a dedication to serve my country and be part of something greater than myself,” added Adepoju. “I’m honored to serve this country that has done so much for me.”...
