in the house of representatives
Mr. PERRY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize and honor the service of Mr. Scott K. Bradley upon the auspicious occasion of his retirement after 41 years of cumulative service to our Nation in the U.S. Navy and federal government.
As a child, Mr. Bradley had dreamed of serving on submarines ever since he witnessed two Canadian Oberon Class Diesel Submarines surface while on a family vacation. At 18, he joined the United States Navy. He thought himself to be a Northerner, so that February, he attended boot camp in NTC Great Lakes for 14 weeks, laughing at “his cold self” until he graduated.
mightily to get Bradley to accept a rate that called for a six-year enlistment, though his intent was to serve for four years and get a college degree with the GI Bill. The team offered him a choice between becoming a cook or a Torpedoman; he chose Torpedoman's Mate, marking the beginning of his decorated Naval career.
George Washington Carver (SSBN-656) underway out of Holy Loch, Scotland. The only Sailor in a house full of Marines made for more than one wrestling match to get to the Thanksgiving table, but somehow, he managed to do that while earning his brothers' respect after he was promoted halfway through his third enlistment to Chief Petty Officer in just under nine years, and earned commission as an Underseas Ordnance Limited Duty Officer one year later, commissioned as an Underseas Ordnance Limited Duty Officer (LDO). Submarines were in his blood, and he crewed on several throughout his career. Later, as a Squadron Combat Systems Officer, he trained 18 weapons officers before ending his 24- year Naval career as a Special Projects Officer at Electric Boat Shipyard with the Strategic Systems Programs.
After culminating his Naval career, Mr. Bradley began his second career with the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) in 2013, at which he's an essential part of the acquisition process from pre-award to sustainment. While postings at the Department of Energy and the Strategic Weapons Facility Pacific took him away at times, the importance of his work and the people with whom he served brought him back into the fold. Now, after 37 years of service to our Nation, Mr. Bradley is retiring to spend time with his wife and search for new challenges and adventures.
Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize and congratulate Mr. Scott K. Bradley on his retirement after more than four decades of service to our Nation. His tireless service, outstanding performance, and dedication to the United States of America set the standard by which we all should be judged.
