M. Scott Brumback was born in Michigan. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1979 as an armored crewman and did basic training at Fort Knox, Kentucky.  After basic, Scott was assigned as a tanker with an armor company in the 3rd Infantry Division, Augsburg, Germany.  After nearly three years in Germany, Scott was reassigned to Fort Carson, Colorado.  Scott came off his first four years of active duty with the Army in 1983 at the rank of Sergeant.
