Education and Career
editJewitt enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1989, was an infantryman in California, and was assigned to a combat replacement company during the Persian Gulf War.[3]
Later, Jewitt earned a B.A. in political science from York College in Pennsylvania, earned a commissioned, and became a financial management officer. He was in active duty for 9 years, "much of it stationed in the Pacific theater".[3]
In 2003, Jewitt was a Major in the Marine Corps Reservist and is the civilian head of the facilities management section at Marine Corps headquarters in Arlington, Virginia.[3] Later, he was assigned to the Legislative Affairs Office.[3]
Jewitt was first appointed, in February 2002, to fill the vacancy left by Tawanna P. Gaines, when she resigned, but a latter election, with 385[4][5] or 387[3] out of the 490 ballots cast, won him the mayoral position in 2003.[5]
Jewitt, who is a Marine Corps Reservist, was called to active duty after serving eight months as Mayor of Berwyn Heights. He resigned from the position because he was called to activate military service as part of Operation Enduring Freedom.[5] Jewitt said, due to the nature and duration of his orders, he felt it was in the best interest of the town to resign.[5] During this time, he served one year in Iraq.
After he returned, in a 2004 bid for the U.S. House of Representatives, Jewitt lost to Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Dist. 5) of Mechanicsville.[6][2]
He serviced as mayor pro tem from 2006 to 2008.[2] As of 2014, he was a colonel.[7][2][8]
In 2010 again in Iraq, Jewitt "was a team chief of a military unit that helped coordinate the sale of U.S. arms and training to Iraqi Federal Police".[2] He "conducted over 150 missions through the Red Zone".[9]
