Sandy Spruill, a Supervisory Human Resources Specialist at Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Atlantic, receives a career service award from the Secretary of the Navy on April 24, 2024. This award celebrates her remarkable 60 years of continuous service to the U.S. Navy, marking a diamond anniversary. Unlike typical retirement ceremonies, this occasion was not a farewell but a recognition of ongoing commitment, as Spruill has no plans to retire and continues to dedicate herself to her mission. At the start of her career, Sandy Spruill had her husband, Rudy, by her side. While she’s just celebrated her diamond anniversary in civil service, Sandy and Rudy have been married longer – 62 years and counting.
