John Corranado was born in Los Santos, San Andreas on November 20th, 1992 to Rachel and
Anthony Corranado. The Corranado family was well known in their community and loved by all. Both John's mother and father were public servants for the State of San Andreas. His mother and father were both battle-tested Prosecutors with the State Attorney's Office. Everyone expected their only son, John, to go to law school but John had other plans for himself. He was very intelligent and had offers to different Ivy League colleges so it was a shock to everyone when he enlisted in the United States Army.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 John Corranado enlisted in the Army at 17 and became an Army Ranger assigned to the 75th Ranger Regiment. Three combat tours later, his enlistment was ending but he decided to re-up and submit a Warrant Officer package. He was approved for reenlistment and attended Flight School at Ft Rucker. He flew Blackhawk missions for a few years before being recruited by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment due to being so well known by the Rangers. He flew for the 160th SOAR for a few years before his bird was shot down, causing permanent injury to his eardrums from the explosion. This caused him to lose his flight status and he medically retired.
