A seventh grade field trip to the Naval Academy at Annapolis got him interested in serving in the US Navy. At graduation from the Naval Academy years later he decided to pursue the challenge of being one of the Few and the Proud, and he signed onto fly as a Marine Corps pilot, flying in A-6 and F-18 squadrons. After several tours in Marine Corps, he applied for the astronaut program at NASA and got to achieve one of his childhood dreams, that of being an American Astronaut. He got to work with some of the smartest, most adaptable people in the world and had two amazing flights into space (STS-120 in 2007, and STS-130 in 2010) on board the Space Shuttle to the International Space Station. Zamka has over 3500 flight hours in more than 30 different aircrafts. After leaving NASA in 2013, he has served in government and private roles in commercial space and aviation.
