About the Teacher

Master Sergeant Mike Badey

I spent 23 years in the Air Force as a Combat Arms Weapons Instructor, Security Policeman, and First Sergeant until I retired in September of 2011. While the Air Force has sent me all over the world, my most memorable assignments were at Royal Air Force (RAF) Lakenheath/Feltwell, England and Spangdahlem Air Base, Germany. I was a civilian police officer for the Department of the Air Force after I retired before following my passion to teach. I started teaching Middle School Special Needs and General Science until I finally found a home here at Sandra Day O'Connor in the Air Force Junior ROTC program. This is my 8th year at OC and I look forward to many more rememberable and enjoyable years to come.
