Terry Levoy began his remarkable journey of service to the United States right after graduating high school in 1982. His military career encompassed 26 years across three branches of the armed forces, each chapter building on his dedication and leadership.
Terry’s service began in the U.S. Army, where he quickly rose to the rank of Sergeant before leaving the branch in 1985. He then joined the Army National Guard, serving for four years before embarking on the next phase of his military career.
In 1991, Terry entered the U.S. Marine Corps, where he would serve until 2010, achieving the prestigious rank of Master Sergeant. During his time in the Marines, he provided critical guidance and technical leadership on equipment and programs, demonstrating his expertise and unwavering commitment to excellence.
While serving his country, Terry pursued higher education to expand his skills and knowledge. He earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and later a Master’s degree in Computer and Information Systems Security. His drive for learning allowed him to excel both in the military and in his post-service career.
Terry’s military assignments took him around the globe, including Okinawa, Japan, and Korea. Domestically, he served in locations such as Fort Hood, TX; Twenty-Nine Palms, CA; Camp Lejeune, NC; Dayton, OH; and Quantico, VA.
After retiring from active duty, Terry followed his passion for teaching and mentoring.
