| Info | In 1988, following a family tradition, Corey enlisted in the armed forces of the United States. Although his family had a proud Navy tradition, Corey would be cheering for Army during that most classic of gridiron contests!
"I spent some time at the Maine Maritime Academy before I decided to enlist and really decided that a life at sea was not quite for me. So, one fateful morning in October of '88, I strolled into a US Army recruiting station in Augusta, Maine, and asked for the quickest ticket to anywhere - to new challenges and new rewards."
Corey was sent to the Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia, where he trained as an 11C - or indirect fire infantryman.
While at basic and subsequently his advanced individual training, Corey became a quick study and was rapidly promoted.
"I graduated from basic training as an E-3, and earned expert badges for marksmanship with the M-16A1 rifle, hand grenades and a variety of other weapons systems.
I can't begin to describe the experience. The learning curve at a military training center is unlike anything I've ever experienced. Truly, great leaders are made at these centers."
Corey returned to college at the University of Maine and, in 1989, enrolled in the US Army Reserve Officers Training Corps, where he was fast-tracked through a two-year program.
"As an ROTC cadet, I participated in advanced leadership and tactics courses, earned my airborne wings at Fort Benning's Airborne School, and commanded real infantry troops on patrols in Iceland at strategic sites in Keflavik and Reykavik."
In 1991, Corey graduated from U Maine ROTC and was commissioned a Second Lieutenant of Infantry in the US Army Reserve.
During a 4-year term of service, Corey was commander of 1st Platoon, Charlie Company, 3/16th Infantry.
"I was honored to earn my National Defense Award, Army Service Ribbon, 2 Overseas Service awards, and was among the first reserve officers to ever command troops during exercises at the Joint Readiness Training Center at Fort Chaffee, in Arkansas."
Corey was placed on inactive reserve upon the demobilization of his unit in 1995.
Former State Representative.
