Wil Willis- Birth, Age, Ethnicity, Siblings, Education
Will spent his entire life in Portugal, where he lived with his parents and four siblings (two brothers and two sisters). He hasn’t disclosed many details about his mother and father, but it is known that his father was in the military and therefore his family traveled with him from base to base throughout the years — this continued until he retired in 1991.
This is the cause for Wil’s involvement with the military – he was inspired by his father’s service and vowed to join one day. Wil’s father retired in 1991, and the family relocated to California in the United States, where he quickly acquired American citizenship and now holds both American and Portuguese citizenship.
Participation in the military
Wil decided to fulfill his aspirations and join the military as soon as he graduated from high school in 1993. He attended advanced individual training and the Ranger indoctrination program while concurrently attending basic airborne school; after completing all of his training, he was assigned to the 3rd Ranger Battalion from October 1993 until February 1998.
Wil subsequently joined the Air Force Pararescue squad, where he served until 2007 — because his job was extremely dangerous and Wil put his life in jeopardy on multiple occasions, he was awarded the Sikorsky Rescue award in 2001. He went on to become a weapon, tactics, and air operations teacher in 2002, a position he held until 2008 when he resigned.

Wil has appeared in a number of additional films and television shows throughout the years, including “Beerfest” in 2006, “In the Valley of Elah” in 2007, “Sovereign” in 2015, and many more.
