A little about Me
Retired Major Robert Scoggins commissioned in the Air Force in 2003 with a Bachelors of Social Science and became a rescue pilot, providing deployed and expeditionary personnel recovery, operating the HH-60G combat rescue helicopter and leading a 6-man crew in worldwide combat rescue operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Robert came to his first event with AFW2 in January 2016 at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. He said, “I absolutely needed their help. The second day after connecting with the AFW2 staff they fixed my pay issues and managed to get me in to see a VA specialist for my knee issues after having waited for months for an appointment.” He continues to struggle with PTSD saying, “I developed a severely addictive personality, struggling to overcome just about any negative emotion by myself. Being involved with this team has given me fitness goals to always improve, an attitude that I can overcome any obstacle.”
