Staff Sgt. Fuller of Covington, Georgia graduated high school in 1979 and had previously worked as a police officer in DeKalb County and also for Atlanta's MARTA public transit system. He had also served a tour of duty in Iraq in 2003. Carl was working as a warehouse supervisor when his Guard unit was mobilized. It didn't come as much of a surprise to some family members when Carl announced he was enlisting. When he and his four siblings played space games, he always managed to land the role of Capt. Kirk of Star Trek. Even his personal habits fit those of a soldier. Everything had to have a crease. He was killed when an improvised explosive device detonated near their Humvee while on patrol in Baghdad at age 44.
