Stennis sailors talk STEM in Texas


SAN ANTONIO - Military and civilian personnel from the Stennis Space Center Mississippi’s Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) visited more than 600 students across San Antonio for Navy Week, Feb. 19-23, to discuss careers in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields.
