He spent time in Germany, coinciding with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, did some work in Military Intelligence, and was deployed during Desert Storm spending time in Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Afghanistan. When he retired in 2008, Sgt First Class Harris was the Battalion NCO in charge of the S4 shop.
After leaving the military, Bryan worked with the Army Reserves as a contractor performing inventories for their equipment at sites all over the US, which required a lot of travel. He decided to take a contracting job in Florida as a property book manager (a part of the drug agency) for the Department of State. Bryan and his wife Celeste have been married for 37 years and have a son serving in the Army, two daughters, and three grandchildren. He has a 2012 Shelby Mustang GT 500, which he loves getting out and driving around.
