FOUND

Tour of Duty:  

9/1/89 to 6/28/93 & 7/7/95 to 9/6/99

Designation:  

NCOIC CI, T&C, TV Ops

Duties:  

Initially started as Master Control Operator in 1989. Network Studio operations in 11/89. Stationed at Quarry Heights with the SCN Mobile unit during "Operation Just Cause." After the invasion, Jeff stayed in Studio Operations until his infamous July 4th explosion and was transferred to T&C.

One month after LTC Jerry White came on board as SCN Commander Jeff was transferred back to Studio Operations where he stayed until PCS'ing to Lowry AFB in June 1993.

Jeff returned to SCN in July of 1995 where he worked first in Master Control and then back to Network Studio Operations. He stayed in the studio until May of 1996 when he became the NCOIC of Command Information for one month.

He went on to become NCOIC of Master Control and then NCOIC of T&C which evolved into TV Operations where he served as the NCOIC of TV Operations until SCN closed its doors for the last time. 

Among his many achievements, Jeff hosted "Canal Country", did "Program Notes" with Paul Kloss as the "Channel master" and "Diamond FM Café."

Quote:  

In 1999, Jeff said, "SCN is a part of me.  I'll cherish the time I spent there and in Panama for the rest of my life."

Most recent info:  

(webmasters note: Since 2001, Jeff was caught up in multiple tours to Kuwait and Iraq where he was repeatedly recalled to duty there totaling more than 2 years of duty in that region with seemingly unending repetitious extensions and redeployments. It is my understanding that e is currently back in Atlanta. Similar situations have affected many other SCN'ers.)

Last known Location:  

Jeff has moved to Atlanta Georgia and Fort McPherson where he is working as an Active duty/Reserve component liaison.
