[2] Carter accumulated 6,150 flight hours in the back seat of F-4, F-14, and F/A-18 aircraft during his career and safely accompanied pilots in 2,016 carrier-arrested landings, the record among all active and retired U.S.

He also flew on 125 combat missions in support of joint operations in Bosnia, Kuwait, Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan.

Prior to becoming president of the Naval War College, Carter led Task Force RESILIENT as director, 21st Century Sailor Office (N17).

[5] During his short four-year tenure at Nebraska, he increased enrollments by making more financial aid available to low- and middle-income Nebraskans and implemented a multi-year budget plan that included a two-year, across-the-board tuition freeze.

It was an intentional violation of university space rules that exist so that teaching, learning, research, service and patient care can occur on our campuses without interruption.

"[9] In an op-ed, former OSU Professor Dr. Keith Kilty made a number of criticisms against Carter including suggesting he resign immediately.

[2] In 2009, Carter received the U.S. Navy League's John Paul Jones Award for Inspirational Leadership.
