Brendan Caine ’03 served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Marine Corps with deployments to Iraq in 2009 and Afghanistan in 2011. This year’s Veterans’ Day speaker, Brendan asserted that several military acronyms, such as PFC and GPS, relate powerfully to Milton students’ lives at School, opportunities here, and choices ahead. Before joining the Marines, Brendan attended the University of Southern California, where he earned degrees in biology, psychology and neuroscience. Since fulfilling his active-duty commitment, Brendan is pursuing concentrations in econometrics and entrepreneurship at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
“An excellent Marine might be described as a force multiplier: someone who makes both themself and the people around them better. Your teachers work to make you a force multiplier—whether as a student, an athlete, an artist or a citizen. Use your strengths to help make others stronger.”
