                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 11, 1995
  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Colonel Scott E. 
Mills, U.S. Air Force, on the occasion of his retirement from the 
military.
  Scott Mills has served as Chief of the U.S. Air Force Academy 
Activities Group since June, 1993. During the last 2 years, he has 
worked closely with many of our offices in coordinating Congressional 
nominations and inquiries for the Academy.
  Born in Berkeley, California, Scott Mills received a Bachelor of 
Science degree as a member of the U.S. Air Force Academy Class of 1973. 
He received a Master of Science in Logistics from the Air Force 
Institute of Technology in 1984. His professional military education 
includes Squadron Officer School, Air Command and Staff College, and 
the Air War College.
  Scott Mills' Air Force career is one marked diverse accomplishments. 
He is a Master Navigator with over 3,000 flying hours, serving as both 
C-141 navigator and C-141 navigator instructor. He has served with 4th 
Military Airlift Squadron, 323d Flying Training Wing, Headquarters Air 
Training Command, the Joint Cruise Missiles Project, and the 323d 
Support Group.
  Scott Mills has received numerous awards including the Defense 
Meritorious Service Medal, the Meritorious Service Medal with two oak 
leaf clusters and the Air Force Commodation Medal with one oak leaf 
cluster.
  Mr. Speaker, Scott Mills' service to his country has touched the 
lives of countless young men and women either serving in the U.S. Air 
Force or attending the United States Air Force Academy. His integrity 
and his commitment to excellence are the trademarks of his career.
  I ask my colleagues to joint me in thinking him for his distinguished 
and selfless service to our nation. As he returns to civilian life, may 
he and his family enjoy the full blessings of the freedom he has so 
ably defended during this career as a officer in the U.S. Air Force.
