About Scott Thomason

Scott Thomason is a HR and Human Capital Manager - Reserve Matters at Headquarters United States Air Force SAF/AQ. He is proficient in Turkish. Colleagues describe him as "While deployed to Afghanistan, I worked with Scott as part of a team developing the nascent Afghan Air Force. This was the definition of uncertain times as the American presence was planned to decrease, there were regular rocket attacks on the base, and the Afghan Air Force (AAF)was the least developed element of the Afghan military. Scott's work advising the AAF Chief of Personnel was a critical element of the mission, and he consistently rose to the occasion. His cool demeanor, deep experience, and tenacious work ethic were able to ensure alignment between the Afghan desires and the support Coalition forces were able to offer. I'd be proud work with Scott again anywhere. He's a superstar."
