| Personal History | Ethan McAllister was born in 1985 to a military family, and it was clear from a young age that he had a natural aptitude for leadership. His father, a retired Army Colonel, instilled in him a deep sense of duty, while his mother, a teacher, encouraged him to think critically and question the world around him. Growing up in a disciplined household, Ethan learned the value of hard work, respect, and perseverance. He enlisted in the Army at 18 and went through rigorous training, eventually becoming a Ranger. His time in the Army was marked by multiple deployments, including in conflict zones such as Afghanistan and Iraq, where he earned numerous commendations for bravery and leadership. His experiences in combat, both physically demanding and emotionally taxing, shaped him into the resilient person he is today. After several years in the Army, Ethan transitioned to the Marine Corps as part of a joint operations initiative and served for another five years before ultimately retiring from active service with the rank of Gunnery Sergeant. Upon leaving the military, he entered civilian life and worked as a security contractor for a few years before deciding to pursue a career in public service. With a wealth of experience in leadership, security, and military strategy, he was appointed as a senior advisor to the Department of Defense, and in 2041, he became the Secretary of Defense. |
