Allan "Avi" Weiss:
Weiss joined the National Guard while studying at Cleveland State to be a social worker.

He requested to be moved to another unit in exchange for providing details of the accident to an inspector general. Weiss spent the rest of his obligation in a medical unit. He lives in Mayfield Heights.
