Chris Estes served in the U.S. Marine Corps 7 years and 11 months. Chris was injured in combat after two tours in Iraq and one in Afghanistan. While in the process of being discharged, Chris learned about Operation IMPACT and was given the opportunity to apply for a job with Northrop Grumman. In October 2006, he began work as an engineer with Northrop Grumman’s Mission Systems sector in Madison, Ala. He describes working at Northrop Grumman as “a great experience.” We’re glad to have Chris as a member of the Northrop Grumman community and value his years of service to our country.
