Introducing Our Guest Speaker
Rebecca Dowling Calder
Commander Rebecca Calder graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1998, earned
her designation as a Naval Aviator in July of 2000 and began her career as an F/A-18 Hornet
pilot where she has served in multiple squadrons. She flew missions in support of Operations
Enduring Freedom and Southern Watch in 2002 and in support of Iraqi Freedom in 2008.
Becky attended the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School (commonly referred to as TOPGUN) in
2004 where she became the first female pilot to graduate from the elite program. She
transitioned to the U. S. Navy Reserves in 2011 where she still serves today. She has accrued
over 2,500 flight hours and 421 carrier arrested landings. She became the first woman to have
her basketball jersey (#32) retired from the United States Naval Academy in January 2014. She
was inducted into the New England Basketball Hall of Fame in 2004, and inducted into the
Andover Athletics Hall of Honor in 2008, as part of the inaugural class.
Becky is currently a PhD student pursuing her doctorate in Organizational Leadership from
Regent University. She lives in Reno, NV, with her husband Adrian, and their two children. She
enjoys international travel, skiing, hiking, and spending time with her family and their dog, Max.
