Paul Turner (1977) sent me an email and told me to check out the website. Occupation: USAF Major/Program Management, Spouse: Tamara
Since High School: After graduating from MIT with a BS in Aeronautics and Astronautics, I was commissioned in the USAF. I was sent to get a Masters in Aeronautical Engineering from the Air Force Institute of Technology. I've held various assignments - intelligence, Pentagon, HQ AF Systems Command, F-16 and F-22 program offices, Rand Corp (independent study), State Department, and my current job at the Joint Strike Fighter Program Office as the JSF Multinational Program Manager. I am currently responsible for the integration of Denmark, The Netherlands, and Norway into the JSF Program. I've been selected for lieutenant colonel and will assume that rank on 1 May 1998. I got married to Tamara Lincks on 19 October 1990 in the Rockville Mansion. We've lived in Dayton, OH; Redondo Beach, CA; and Alexandria, VA. It's great be back on the east coast and be near family and friends. That's it in a nutshell.
Future Plans: Tam and I would like to stay in the area for a while longer. In a couple of years, I'd like to move back to the Pentagon if I can find an exciting job. I can retire from the USAF as soon as June 2001. I'll be eligible for full colonel about 2002 so I'll have to see if I want to stay in longer. We don't know where we'd like to go after that. I'm trying to convice Tam to support me and let me become a golf/ski bum, but the probability of that is very, VERY small!!
