Hi. I’m Erin Helle. I graduated from the U.S. Military Academy in 2009 where I swam for the Army team. I went on to serve as an Engineer in the US Army from 2009-2017.
I’m Geoff Weber from Lenox, Masssachsetts. I left the business world on September 12, 2001 to serve in the US intelligence community, receiving a commission in the US Navy in 2002. I attained the rank of Commander in my twenty years before retirement on April 1, 2022. I served on ships, SEAL teams, and overseas stations. My most arduous tour was serving as a diplomat in Moscow, Russia, advising leadership in Washington, DC of future attacks on Ukraine.
My name is Laura Renner and I was full-time Air Force for 6 years and then took a 12-year break in service. I have been in the Air Force Reserve now for 4 years. I separated from full-time Air Force on Sept 27, 2007, as a Captain. I am currently a Major, assigned to the J1 of United States Forces Korea.
My name is Luc-Rikardo Fils, and I’m from the Seattle area. I was in the military for 8 years in the Navy and was honorably discharged in 2021. My highest rank was a Petty Officer, 2nd class, and deployed to USS John C Stennis (CVN 74), and LCS Squadron 1 in San Diego.
My name is Brandon Harris, and my roots are firmly planted just north of Houston, Texas, where I grew up in a close-knit family with one younger brother. Our family ethos was deeply entangled with the world of sports, which I suppose, primed me for the rigorous discipline and teamwork of my ensuing military career. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 2009, dedicating nine years to active duty and another year to the reserves, ascending to the rank of E-6.
My name is Kyle Ronan. I served from 2009-2017 with the United States Marine Corps on active duty. After completing boot camp MCRD San Diego and MCT (Marine Combat Training) I then went to the USNSOM (United States Naval School of Music) to learn the history, traditions, and standards of the USMC and other branches.
