Gerry Craft
Class of 2007
Marine Corps, 8 Years
Boot camp at MCRD Paris Island in June 2007 after graduating. Then on to School of Infantry in Jacksonville, NC. My first unit was 2nd Batallion 6th Marine Corps Regiment, Camp Lejeune , NC where I deployed twice. My first deployment was with the 26th Marine Expeditionary as a rifleman and squad automatic weapon gunner. My second deployment was a very active and kinetic combat deployment to Marjah, Afghanistan in Helmand Province from June–December 2010. While in Marjah, I served my unit as a platoon radio operator, team leader, and very briefly (2-weeks) as a platoon sergeant; and also re-enlisted for another four year term.
During my second enlistment I served with 3rd Battalion 5th Marine Corps infantry Regiment Camp Pendleton, CA and Headquarters and Services Battalion at Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego. While at Camp Pendleton I deployed for a third time detached from 3rd Battalion 5th Marines and reattached to the Maritime Raid Force of the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit as a squad leader and rifleman. At my final duty station Marine Corps Recruit Depot, San Diego I was Cerimonial detail where I served as a flag bearer for the Base Color Guard and a Funeral detail supervisor. The highest rank I achieved was Corporal and was discharged in 2015.
Immediately upon my release from service, I began attending San Diego Community College ,Miramar campus, studying Psychology with the goal of transferring to California State University San Marcos. After receiving my Associate of the Arts degree from Miramar I transferred to Cal. State San Marcos to finish my bachelor of the arts degree in Psychological Sciences. I graduated from Cal State San Marcos in June 2020, with a 3.27 GPA. I plan to begin working on a Master of the Sciences/Arts Degree at either Arizona State University or Alliant University in January 2021.
