Marty Alencar

Overview

Marty’s family immigrated to the US when he was 14. He joined the US Marine Corps out of High School and was made corporal. He re-enlisted at age 21 after completing two years of college and went through security training before being assigned to a Force Protection Brigade at the US Naval Station in Hurghada, Egypt, with the rank of Sergeant. Alencar mustered out at age 25 and moved back to the states with his Egyptian-born wife. The two divorced a year later, shortly after Marty landed a job with an Atlanta-based private security firm. Alencar transferred overseas to Africa posting one of the firm’s corporate clients. He went AWOL after receiving a desk job, and ended up working as an independent contractor in the civil war.
