Today, we are sharing the story of Master-at-Arms Brandon Stalker, a Sailor who answered the call to serve once again.
After being discharged on May 20, 2022, MA2 Stalker was reinstated on February 24, 2026, and is now assigned to NRC Spokane.
Under the leadership of @POTUS, Pete Hegseth, and @SECNAV, his return to service included:
✅ Credit for 3 years, 8 months, and 4 days of service
✅ Advancement from E-4 / PO3 to E-5 / PO2
MA2 Stalker returned to service to fulfill his duty to his country. Looking ahead, he hopes to serve with the Maritime Expeditionary Security Squadron, further develop as a leader, and reach 20 years of service.
Welcome back, MA2 Stalker. Fair winds and following seas!
