Chief Petty Officer Christian Scott, a 2005 graduate of Wapakoneta High School and American Military University alumnus with a Bachelor of Arts in Disaster Preparedness and Emergency Management, joined the Navy 16 years ago. "Joining the Navy was not on my mind originally," said Scott. "As I was attending The Ohio State University, something just felt like it was missing from my heart. I was provided some guidance from friends and family to inquire about the military."
