On January 28th, Quinton O’Toole enlisted in the Wisconsin Air National Guard at Truax Field in Madison.

Quinton began investigating the Wisconsin Air National Guard in August 2023 with a trip to Volk Field in Camp Douglas. He completed the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) in his sophomore year and again in his senior year. 

Quinton expects to complete his high school sports career after competing in Cross Country, Wrestling, and Track & Field. He has completed AP classes in Literature, English, Speech and Biology. Last summer, he was selected as a delegate to Badger Boys State and attended with Sam Nicklesburg and Chacha Binagi. 

Starting July 7th, Quinton will attend basic training in Texas, followed by F-35 Crew Chief training in Texas/Arizona or Florida. His duty station will be the 115th Fighter Wing at Truax Field in Madison. As a member of the Wisconsin Air National Guard, Quinton will be eligible for in-state tuition and federal education benefits for future use.
