Fidel (the 3rd) was born in Puerto Rico and came to the US when he was four.  His dad joined the Army and he lived the typical army brat live moving all across the country.  Fidel went to four different high schools in a two-year period.  After high school he enlisted in the USMC where he served in the infantry.  He did four years and deployed twice to the Middle East.  
 
 After getting out of the military, he got into government contracting for twelve years and worked all over the global with DynCorps and Triple Canopy.   During that time, he had three girls as well.
 
 He later joined GPPD where he has been with us for about six years.  In that time, he has worked patrol and is a current SWAT team member.  
 
 They share some funny stories of his report writing journey and riding around in the car with Nate while in FTO.  Fun fact about Fidel, he is the longest tenured Blue Belt at GPPD in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu where he has held that honor for 12 years now (at Blue Belt).
