History:Raised in the Boston suburb of Brookline, Massachusetts. His father works as an Otolaryngologist (Ear, Nose and Throat Specialist) at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Brian's grandfather served as an officer in the Republic of Korea Marine Corps rising to the rank of Colonel. Brian entered the Army right out of High school.
As a boy, Brian’s father also named Brian often took his son to Fenway Park to watch the Red Sox play baseball. Brian loves baseball and the Red Sox. The elder Park did not have a lot of time to entertain with his son, but when he did, he often made it grand, going to baseball games, football games, the Super Bowl, Disney World and even the occasional Carribean Cruise.
As a teen, Brian took to sailing, engaging in the sport off the coast of Cape Cod near his family’s summer place in Harwich, MA. Brian and his father as well as the occasional friend would take their 42’ Clipper offshore and sail to Nantucket Island or Martha’s Vineyard. Brian had become an accomplished sailor by the time he graduated from Brookline High School. Brian also played both baseball and football for BHS, playing Safety in Football and shortstop in baseball. He did quite well in both, but not enough to continue these activities at a semi-professional level.
Brian graduated from Basic Training at Ft. Benning, GA as an 11B Infantryman. He then went on to Airborne and Ranger schools also at Ft. Benning. His first duty assignment was as Squad Automatic Weapon gunner, in B Company, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry (1-27), 25th Infantry Division, Schofield Barracks, Hawaii. After a 15-month tour in Hawaii, PFC Park was reassigned as a Grenadier, in C Company, 1st Battalion, 75th Rangers (1-75), Hunter Army Airfield, Georgia. While with the Rangers, he experienced combat in South America where he received a wound to the shoulder. He was promoted to Specialist while with the Rangers. When his initial time in service was about to end, he submitted a request to Special Forces. He was promotable, but had not yet seen the orders. John F. Kennedy would have to take him as a Specialist (Promotable). While Brian was at the US Army Special Forces Qualification Course (SFQ) at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center, Ft. Bragg, NC (JFK - SWC), he was promoted to Sergeant. He received the 18B MOS for Light Weapons Specialist. He also trained in speaking Korean and Chinese.
As a special forces operator, SGT Park was assigned to Alpha Detachment in A company, 1st Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (1-1 SFG), Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Tacoma, WA. Three years later, Brian was promoted to Staff Sergeant and after six years with 1st SFG, he was promoted to Sergeant First Class. While with 1st Group, he served several tours in Korea and some “diplomatic” missions to both China and Japan. He has participated in several joint training endeavors with the South Korean Army and the Japanese Ground Defense Force. In 2014, he was involved in undisclosed combat actions in Indonesia and six months later in Malaysia.
After the Soviet invasion of the US, remnants of the 1st SFG were combined with other groups to create teams to be dropped into either the Rocky Mountains or the Appalachian Mountains to help Americna guerrilla units fight against the Soviets. Since he grew up in New England, Brian requested to be assigned to a team operating in that area of the country. He and MSG Morse, his team chief were dropped into the Green Mountains of Vermont.
