Veterans in Blue: Marvin Sutton

Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controller, Marvin Sutton, from the Air Route Traffic Control Center in Fort Worth, Texas, poses for a photo in front of the air traffic control tower at Grand Forks Air Forks Air Force Base, N.D., on June 3, 2014. Grand Forks AFB was Sutton's first permanent duty station during his 8-years of service in the Air Force. He helped keep aircraft and people on base safe as a security forces Airman. The former Warrior of the North became an Air Force air traffic controller before separating as a staff sergeant in 1988, but continued to protect people and aircraft as a civilian ATC. He visited his first duty station to talk with some Air Force traffic controllers. “The military was great stepping stone for me because it provided me with an opportunity to learn a set of skills and gain experiences that I was able to use as I transitioned back into civilian life and be successful,” said Sutton.
