Scott's Story
College
After graduating from Somerset High School in 1971, I went to Lowell State College to study both instrumental and vocal music in a 5 year program there. After my 4th year, I was recruited to join the international touring group, Up With People during America's Bi-Centennial year (1975-1976) and toured and performed with them across the USA. I finished with the University of Lowell in 1977 and became the Director of Music in Somersworth, NH until the summer of 1980. I was then fortunate to be selected for Navigator training in the USAF and after Officer Training School, was commissioned as a 2d LT in February 1981 and spent the next year in flight school. I began my flying career with the USAF in B-52s in Michigan, followed on with FB-111s out of New York and New Hampshire and then B-1 bombers in Texas and South Dakota. I earned my Masters Degree in Public School Administration from South Dakota State University in 1995. My military schools have included Squadron Officers School, Air C...Expand for more
ommand and Staff College and Air War College. In 1999, I was assigned as an Air Force Liaison Officer with the Army's 1st Infantry Division and deployed to Kosovo in 2000. I was the Commander of the 2d Air Support Operation Squadron from 2000-2002 and then went to Stuttgart, Germany and served as the Chief of African and MidEast Exercises for US European Command from 2002-2005. During that time, I also studied and earned my second Bachelor's Degree in History in preparation for a second career in education. I recently retired from the AF after teaching at the Air University at Maxwell AFB, Alabama where I am an instructor in Joint Warfare Courses. I have continued to teach for the Air Command and Staff College in their Online Masters Degree program while working as a SyStems Engineer supporting an AF mission planning program at Eglin AFB on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Gloria and I miss New England, but emjoy the weather and water here on the Gulf of Mexico. Best wsihes to all our classmates!
