Of the 1,269 enlisted airmen in the 127th Wing at Selfridge Air National Guard Base, the college education statistics break down roughly like this: a lot, a few, a handful and one.
A lot of enlisted airmen – 253 to be exact — have earned associate degrees, either through the Community College of the Air Force or other sources. A few – 86 — have bachelor’s degrees. A handful – 21— have master’s degrees. And one has a doctorate.
Air Force Master Sgt. Shaun West is the “one.” West, an adjunct professor with Arizona State University’s online graduate studies program, holds a doctorate degree in behavioral health that he received from ASU.
“I felt the challenge was necessary,” said West, a member of the 127th Security Forces Squadron.
