About Joshua Potts
Since a very young age, I knew that aviation would be something that I would like to pursue but never really knew which part of aviation intrigued me most. In the past, I have always loved to be a part of a team working towards a common goal. In college, I realized that I found a calling to join the military in order to be a part of a massive team working towards extremely high goals.After graduating from Saint Ignatius High School in Cleveland, I attended Kent State University pursuing an Air Traffic Control major in the College of Technology. However, I had a deeper calling to serve and decided to change my major as well as add another. I pursued a double major in both Aviation Management as well as Business Administration while applying for Officer Candidate School (OCS) to become an officer in the U.S. Navy.After attending OCS, I went on to Pensacola, FL to begin the long road to the coveted \"wings of gold.\" Finishing up flight school 2 years later, I was relocated to NAS Lemoore in CA to continue to develop my skills. Two years later, I joined the VFA-41 Black Aces where I am a Weapons System Officer (WSO) responsible for communication, navigation, sensor management, and weapons setup. Some of my ground jobs include: Scheduling Officer, Coffee Mess Officer (Supply), Combined Federal Campaign Officer, as well as Public Affairs Officer.
