Scott Johns from Atlantic Beach, Fla., is a Navy Hospital Corpsman. His basic training took place in the Great Lakes.  Shortly after graduation, Scott moved across the street for Hospital Corps School where he learned the basics of medical training.  This training took about nine months to complete.  He then spent the next eight months of training in Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.  Scott’s current duty station is Blount Island Command in Jacksonville, Fla.  He’s now reaching the end of his tour in Florida and will be heading to Beaufort, S.C., in November.

Scott’s been an APA member on and off for about seven years now. While playing in the APA, he’s met several other military members. “I was introduced to APA at Bankshot Billiards in Ocala, Fla.,” Johns said.  “I was invited to join a team after playing in a 9-Ball tournament there.”

Scott has not yet been deployed. He reaches deployable status in November, but he already has plenty of experience playing on military pool tables.

“What I most enjoy about APA is the competition.  I love a good challenge,” said Johns. “I think that the ranking system allows all levels of players to have a truly enjoyable experience.  It is fair and allows for the development of skills.”
