Marine Veteran Joseph Gibbons

Capt. Joseph Gibbons was born and raised in Alaska and moved out of state when he joined the Marines at the age of 18. He always wanted to be a Marine since he was 7 years old, had an adolescence rebellion and moved out at the age of 17 and lived with a girlfriend who became his wife in 2011.

He was in the Marines for 5 years and was a Plane Captain on Cobra and Huey helicopters. He inspected them and performed maintenance to make sure that they were safe for flight so that our pilots could carry out the mission and return home safely.

He missed his chance for the sandbox (Afghanistan) by 27 days, roster was already filled but the Marines really formed him to be able to persevere and to be able to be confident in everything that he does. He was also in contact with a lot of good guys because of his learnings from the leadership above him.
