HATTIESBURG, Miss.——A native of the area, Pvt. Odell Scott, Jr., recently completed the U.S. Army’s Basic Combat Training as the Distinguished Honor Graduate, earning early promotion and recognition from Army leadership with a near perfect score of 99.8%.
The middle child of three, Scott faced considerable life challenges before enlisting in the Army, some call adversity but his warrior demeanor is unrattled.
“I went through a lot of stuff growing up, my Dad was in prison while my Mom struggled to take care of me and my brothers,” Scott said. “Honestly there wasn’t much stability…I was between households growing up until now.”
