Don't put the cart before the horse. He was an Air Force officer at Det 3, AFFTC, before he became an astronaut. Many members of the astronaut corps were graduates of the USAF Test Pilot School at Edwards and served in various capacities before being accepted for astronaut training.

Another Det 3 alumnus is Maj. Gen Roy D. Bridges Jr. who served as Assistant Director of Plans at Det 3, AFFTC, from November 1979 to July 1980. He later became a Space Shuttle astronaut. Eventually he was named head of Kennedy Space Center and later Langley Research Center.
