SNU graduate named general in U.S. Air Force
Global Ministry Center
Thursday, July 22, 2010
Southern Nazarene University (SNU) alumnus Robert R. Redwine, assistant director, Intelligence Headquarters, U.S. European Command, has been promoted to brigadier general in the U.S. Air Force.
In 1985 Redwine graduated summa cum laude from SNU with a degree in political science. Since his time at SNU, Redwine has received a master of arts in international relations from Webster University and a juris doctorate from the University of Oklahoma.
Redwine has served in the military for 24 years. In addition to his assignment in Germany he has held positions such as missile combat crew commander, emergency action procedures officer, director of operations, and intelligence applications branch chief.
Redwine has also received various awards, including the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, four awards of the Meritorious Service Medal, the Joint Service Achievement Medal, two awards of the Air Force Commendation Medal, and two awards of the Air Force Achievement Medal.
"General Rob Redwine is representative of the finest in SNU graduates," said Loren Gresham, SNU president. "He is a model professional as a lawyer, and has served our country in the military with distinction for many years. He deserves our gratitude and respect."
When asked about his time and influences at SNU, Redwine said, "Drs. Randall Spindle, Bob Lively, and Gresham were the instructors that had the greatest influence on me during my time at SNU. Their teaching prompted me to take every possible class I could in political science and history. Perhaps more importantly, their personal interest helped inspire me to achievement. Together, their instruction and encouragement provided me with a valuable foundation for my professional career.
"SNU was the perfect educational choice for me," he continued. "In my view, the combination of intellectual, spiritual, and character development is tremendous preparation for any career - but especially one in the military."
Redwine lives in Edmond, Oklahoma, with his wife of 21 years, Victoria. The couple has two daughters: Courtney, who will be an incoming freshman at SNU in the fall, and Mallory. More information on Redwine can be found here.
