Scott Chapman is a featured author for The Havok Journal who served in Alpha Company 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment from 2001-2005. He deployed to Iraq during the 2003 invasion, then to Afghanistan / Conflict Zone 4 separate times. He left the Rangers as an E-5 (Sgt.) Ranger Fire Team Leader.
Several years after the military, Scott returned to Afghanistan to work as a high-threat Independent security Contractor (IC) providing support to the U.S. Intelligence community, where he deployed 17 additional times. Chapman often exclaims, "If not me, then who else? I do this so you don't have to."
The majority of his deployment time was spent at Forward Operating Bases (FOB) where he provided security support for Intelligence personnel during clandestine operations.
Scott’s final duty rotation, in 2015, was at the US Embassy Annex in Kabul where he worked as a mentor for (Afghan) Local Guard Forces.
From 2005 - 2009 Scott worked in the Executive Protection industry providing high-end security services for some of the most influential people in the world.
Scott continues to work in the contract-security industry and enjoys writing about the wisdom and insight he's learned from a lifetime of sacrifice coupled with an ever expanding mind.
Scott first graduated from Florida Community College in Jacksonville, FL with an Associate in Arts degree. He then attended Murray State University, Kentucky and graduated in Dec 2000. He graduated with a B.S. in Criminal Justice and minor in Sociology.
Scott is a full-scholarship Division I distance runner. He earned NJCAA All-American honors for the 1500m and the 3000m steeplechase track & field events.
He enlisted in the U.S. Army after college and arrived at 2nd Rangers one month before 9/11.
The collapse of Afghanistan, representing a lifetime of sacrifice, coupled with the turbulent transition to Taliban rule left Chapman enraged. Chapman focused his anger into words then co-authored his debut article, “Written in Taliban.”
Chapman is still active in various clandestine post-Afghanistan rescue mission efforts. He co-founded the “Afghan Medical Corps” – an underground network of doctors and hospitals who treat vulnerable at-risk Afghan patients. He feeds, supplies clothing, and provides ground assistance to thousands of starving and impoverished Afghans.
Scott is also a quiet co-founder of the Afghan American Development Group (AADG). The AADG strives to raise awareness and gathers all appropriate resources to provide education and training for former Afghan Air Force (AAF) and Afghan Special Mission Wing (SMW) members in, and outside of, the U.S. Fulfilling broken promises made by U.S. government to our stranded allies and their innocent families.
Desperate to reconcile combat stress injuries, Chapman began a quest of self-discovery that led him to a new perspective of the laws of Physics. A love of Relativity nestled with the quirky world of Quantum Mechanics helped Chapman deploy the power of positive thinking to the malleable world we walk through. There is no spoon.
Scott is a self-proclaimed objective observer in his own reality. A relentless curiosity with a penchant for patterns fuels his desire to understand "the why and the how" behind his actions, world events, and the physics of the Universe.
Ironman Triathlete, Baja 1,000 finisher on a motorcycle, principle co-founder of "Race for the Wounded" veteran-nonprofit, an avid ADV motorcycle enthusiast, a published author, and a lover of life.
He's developed a unique writing style through a lifetime of curiosity, solemn solitary reflection, and the welcomed turbulent wave patterns that led to his Stress Enhanced Awakening.
Chapman comes from an old bloodline of protectors.
