Those are first impressions one might have of the new commander for Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 104th Training Division (Leader Training), Maj. Luke Faul. But who is he really behind that amused look? He began his military career in 2004, attending Basic Training at Fort Benning, Georgia; joining because he liked “…solving complex human dilemmas that arise in this profession,” Faul stated.

Comprehending the power of nature
because of “their unconditional love, guidance, and support”, he shared, as well as having, “a natural
enthusiasm about being a Soldier.” Faul was a sergeant when he decided to attend Officer Candidate School at Ft. Benning. And prior to his joining the military, he attended Cal State Fullerton, becoming a teacher along with two of his best friends. “Every day throughout
college was memorable,” Faul reflected. He remains in contact with both of his buddies who still coach and teach today. Before arriving at the 104th, Faul was an active-duty paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division, deploying to the Middle East
