In 1983 he was selected as a manned spaceflight engineer, and became a fully qualified space shuttle crew member. From Los Angeles AFB, Colonel Jones went to Washington D.C. where he remained until his present assignment at Hanscom Air Force Base. There, he was director of Space Systems Intelligence, evaluating foreign space capabilities and threats.

Hi, I'm a Junior doing a research project on an individual that passed on 9/11. I'm so sorry for your loss, he seemed like a great person to be around.
