There are upsides and downsides to every job. For one civilian employee working near the Naval Support Activity Panama City in Florida, one of the perks was being able to cool off in the Gulf’s warm waters during a break. He recently discovered the downside: those same waters are also home to sharks.
According to A-Z Animals, the employee, whose identity has not been released, was swimming at the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) Marina on June 8 when he was attacked. The marina is a popular recreation spot for military personnel, civilian employees, and their families who live and work nearby.
