QUANTICO, Va. – Brenden McMullen (closest to helicopter) jumps out of the Marine Corps UH1Y over Marine Corps Base Quantico while assigned to Marine Corps Systems Command as a Navy senior chief special amphibious reconnaissance corpsman in 2006. McMullen – now a Navy civilian engineer – was recently commended for his impact on new research to identify threats, risks, and vulnerabilities related to wearable and embeddable technologies. As the only Department of Defense civilian member of a Department of Homeland Security focus group, he used his military expertise to evaluate wearable items like fitness bands and medical telemetry – including LifeAlert and GoogleGlass – in addition to surgically implanted items. “This year’s program would not have been a success without Brenden’s active engagement and partnership,” said a DHS official in a December 2014 letter to the Navy.
