Astronaut/Physicist

At 17 years old John Doe graduated high school and began attending the United States Air Force Academy, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering and minored in Physics. He graduated from the Air Force Academy with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering and a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Air Force. After completing the Aircraft Maintenance Officer Course, John was assigned to Aviano Air Base in Italy to serve as a flight commander in the 31st Aircraft Maintenance Squadron. As an aircraft maintenance officer, he was responsible for supervising and coordinating the maintenance and repair of aircraft, aircraft components, and aviation support equipment.

John left the U.S. Air Force after five years of distinguished service and began began attending the graduate program in Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After earning his Ph.D. in Physics in just five years, John joined the Institute for Astronomy as a research physicist working in the field of space plasma physics and immediately applied to join the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. A little while later, he obtained a Private Pilot Certificate.

He was eventually selected for astronaut training by NASA. John then went on to Astronaut Candidate Training, which included scientific and technical briefings, intensive instruction in Space Shuttle and International Space Station systems, physiological training, T-38 flight training, and water and wilderness survival training. Completion of this initial training qualifies him for various technical assignments within the Astronaut Office and future flight assignment as a mission specialist. John was initially assigned technical duties in the Astronaut Office Space Station Operations Branch to work with Space Station payload displays and procedures. He then briefly served in the Astronaut Office CAPCOM Branch, working in Mission Control as a prime communicator with on-orbit crews. He is currently assigned technical duties in the Astronaut Office Shuttle Operations Branch involving the Space Shuttle main engines, external tank and solid rocket boosters.

At 17 years old John Doe graduated high school and began attending the United States Naval Academy, where he majored in Mechanical Engineering and minored in Physics. He graduated from the Naval Academy with a B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering and a commission as a Second Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corps. Upon completing The Basic School, John went through the Aviation Maintenance Officer Course at the Naval Aviation School. There, he learned a core foundation of knowledge in aviation maintenance. He was then assigned to Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 39 at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton. As an aircraft maintenance officer, John was responsible for supervising and coordinating the maintenance and repair of aircraft, aircraft components, and aviation support equipment.

After his five year active duty tour ended, John joined the Marine Corps Reserve and began began attending the graduate program in Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He served as a Marine reservist for three years, fulfilling his reserve drills in Marine Aviation Logistics Squadron 49 at Stewart Air National Guard Base in New York. After earning his Ph.D. in Physics in just five years, John joined the Institute for Astronomy as a research physicist working in the field of space plasma physics and immediately applied to join the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
