Mr. Marsh has a great understanding of the Military Family and Community! In 1990, he served as a newly commissioned Ensign and attended the flight program at NAS Pensacola after graduating from Aviation Officer Candidate School (Class 1690). In the picture below, he is standing with his good friend Darryl "D-Day" Walker (on the right) who is now an active duty Rear Admiral and President of the Naval War College. They were designated Naval Flight Officers - Marsh flew the P-3C Orion and Walker flew the EA-6B Prowler. Mr. Marsh says of his friend, "It's amazing and ironic that we both took different paths but ended up in education!"
