It’s not every day you meet someone who has been deployed seven times who also speaks Navajo and Cahuilla. Justin Wise has had a long and varied career. When we spoke he was off to Hawaii the next day for a flight with the California Air National Guard.
He has two bachelor’s degrees and is finishing up a master’s degree in quality this year at California State University at Dominguez Hills. His applications for a Ph.D. program are pending. After several years at the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), he just started a new job in February working as an inspector general with the Navy.
