He graduated from the University of South Carolina with a B.A. in psychology in 1977, and from the University of South Carolina School of Law with a J.D. in 1981.

1981

A native of Central, South Carolina, Graham received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1981.

1982

Most of his active duty during his military service happened from 1982 to 1988, when he served with the Judge Advocate General's Corps in the United States Air Force, as a defense attorney and then as the Air Force's chief prosecutor in Europe, based in West Germany.

Later his entire service in the U.S. Air Force Reserve ran concurrently with his congressional career.

Upon graduating from the University of South Carolina School of Law, Graham was commissioned as an officer in the Judge Advocate General's Corps (JAG Corps) in the United States Air Force in 1982 and began active duty that year.

He served as assistant county attorney for Oconee County from 1988 to 1992 and city attorney for Central from 1990 to 1994.

1989

After his service in Europe, he returned to South Carolina, leaving active duty in 1989 and entering private practice as a lawyer.

After leaving the Air Force, Graham joined the South Carolina Air National Guard in 1989, where he served until 1995, then joining the U.S. Air Force Reserve.

1990

During the 1990–1991 Gulf War, Graham was recalled to active duty, serving as a judge advocate at McEntire Air National Guard Station in Eastover, South Carolina, where he helped brief departing pilots on the laws of war.

He served four terms in the United States House of Representatives for South Carolina's 3rd congressional district from 1995 to 2003.

1998

In 1998, the Capitol Hill daily newspaper The Hill contended that Graham was describing himself on his website as an Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran.

Graham responded: "I have not told anybody I'm a combatant. I'm not a war hero, and never said I was. ... If I have lied about my military record, I'm not fit to serve in Congress", further noting that he "never deployed".

In 1998, Graham was promoted to lieutenant colonel.

2002
