SAN DIEGO – Chief Petty Officer Ryan Pulliam, a native of Tampa, Florida, wanted to get out and see the world and have a respectable career.
“My family was Navy for three generations,” said Pulliam, “I picked up the torch and became the fourth.”
Now, 10 years later, Pulliam serves with the Scorpions of Helicopter Maritime Squadron (HSM) 49, working with one of the Navy’s most advanced helicopters at Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego.
