Scott's Story
Life
Well after I graduated from High School, I bounced around from job to job until 1991 when I ended up in the Service Station Equipment and Construction Business. That is where I met Michelle. She was my Texaco Representative.
In 1999 after 15 years in the Sea Cadets, I followed a life long dream and enlisted in the U.S. Navy at 31. I am an Aviation Structural Mechanic (Safety Equipment) (AME1) now. I finished three years of shore duty at VS-41 and then headed to Sea Duty with VS-38. While at VS-38 I deployed aboard USS CONSTELLATION (CV 64) and participated in operations, ENDURING FREEDOM, SOUTHERN WATCH, and IRAQI FREEDOM. I then transferred to VS-35 and deployed on the USS JOHN C STENNIS in the Spring of 2004. All three squadrons are here in San Diego.
Michelle, the kids and I moved to Maine in the Spring of 2005. I deployed twice with VP-26 once to Italy and once to Qatar. We moved back to San Diego in 2008 for a shore tour at VMFAT-101 at MCAS Miramar. After three years at Miramar, I transferred to VRC-30 at NAS North Island.
I joined the Navy to see the world. They stationed me for all but three years in my home town. Go figure.
Michelle and I have two wonderful sons, Trevor, 15 and Tyler, 11.
School
High School was kind of a weird place for me. Most of my friends went to other schools.
Compared to how life is today though, I would gladly go back to the ease of high school.
College
Well I took three classes at Grossmont College in 1988. Failed all of them.
Went back to school at City College in 2000 and finished up six unit.
Because I am deployable now, I attend Grantham University through the Navy College program. I received my Associates in Business in 2006 and my Bachelors in 2009 and my MBA in 2012.
