Sherman entered Fort Bragg 82nd Airborne Division as a Supply Clerk and worked his way to Staff Sergeant E-6. Sherman went on to become a Paratrooper Basic AIT and attended jump school. Sherman loved the work he did.
Sherman married Lorraine Love in 1989 and the two raised their children, Monalisa, Marvin "Poppa", Mercedes and Aaron all around the world.
Sherman eventually attended Warrant Officer Academy where he moved in ranking from W1-4 before retiring Chief Warrant Officer CW4 in 2011. Sherman then became a private contractor and did civilian work for the U.S. Army until retiring in 2019.
