#PeopleOfPrecise: Meet Sarah La Fuze

For Sarah, serving others has always been part of who she is.

Today, Sarah supports NSWC Crane as a Personnel Security Specialist, helping protect sensitive intelligence programs and the people who power them. Through personnel vetting and continuous monitoring efforts, she serves as a critical line of defense against insider threats while strengthening the security and trust that support our nation’s warfighters.

“My role helps limit insider threats and increases the trust and security of the teams here at Crane,” Sarah explained.

Sarah’s passion for service began with her grandfather, a retired Marine and police officer who inspired her from a young age.

“My Grandpa was my absolute hero and my greatest role model,” she said. “Growing up listening to his stories from Vietnam and Desert Storm, I always knew I wanted to serve my country.”

Her military experience would go on to leave a lasting impact—not only professionally, but personally as well.

“The lesson from my military service that has had the greatest impact on who I am today is the true meaning of family,” Sarah shared.

Through shared challenges and experiences, she learned that family extends far beyond blood relations. The bonds formed through service taught her the importance of trust, loyalty, and showing up for others when it matters most.

Those lessons continue to shape how she approaches her work today, helping safeguard teammates and support mission success.

As we recognize Women Veterans Day, Sarah reflects on the common thread that connects all veterans.

“We all took the exact same oath and signed up to give our lives for people we don’t even know so they can live in a free country,” she said. “I’ve known both men and women who never made it home, and to me, they are all simply my brothers and sisters.”

For women considering military service, Sarah offers honest advice: understand the commitment, embrace the journey, and be open to the life-changing experiences that come with it.

“Joining the military was absolutely the greatest decision I ever made,” she said. “You’ll learn invaluable life lessons and build unbreakable bonds that make the experience worth every second.”

And if Hollywood ever comes calling? Sarah already has her leading actress picked out: Melissa McCarthy.

“I’ve lived a very unconventional and unexpected life,” Sarah laughed. “She’s hilarious, but she can also be genuinely intimidating and never seems afraid to tackle whatever comes her way.”

At Precise, we are grateful for Sarah’s continued service, unwavering dedication, and commitment to protecting those who protect our nation.

Thank you, Sarah, for all that you do.
