Returning home to complete an undergraduate degree with honors from Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, N.C., he would soon return to active military service. During his U.S. Marine Corps career, he would earn a master’s degree from Pepperdine University and graduate from both the U.S. Naval and U.S. Army’s graduate level schools. After serving sea and shore duties throughout the world, Armes would complete his Marine Corps career as the Chief of Staff for the largest Marine force in the world. Upon leaving active military service, Armes relocated to Tampa, Florida where he worked several years in financial planning, start-up businesses, and as a college instructor. However, following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, Armes would join a Washington, D.C. based congressionally mandated federal task force. As this task force became operational, he would leave his Washington assignment to serve several more years as a senior executive with multiple joint anti-terrorist task forces throughout America.view less
