Terry has lived a life of service since graduating from high school in his hometown along the northwestern part of Oak Harbor, Washington. He joined the Navy Reserve through the Sea Air Mariner program and flew aboard the C-9-31 as an aircrewman. Unable to advance he got out of the Navy after four years and enlisted in the Army as a Combat Engineer. “I really had no idea what this entailed and I was in for a rude awakening,” he laughed. After his second contract and second branch, he separated and was working as a phlebotomist and part-time EMT-B when the World Trade Center was hit on 9/11. For a third time, Terry enlisted but in the Air Force and he became a recipient of Levitow Award — given to one airman per class who exhibits the most outstanding leadership and scholastic qualities — at the Airman Leadership School.
