FORT HOOD — The U.S. Army Operational Test Command welcomed two new inductees into Operational Testers’ Hall of Fame during a ceremony Friday.

Michael B. Nott of Harker Heights, and Gayle S. Shull of Belton, became the 38th and 39th inductees to the Hall of Fame, respectively.

Nott retired from the Army in 1992 as an Army officer after 24 years, then served another 21 years as a Department of the Army civilian.

He worked his way from a test officer in 1992 to deputy director of Mission Command Test Directorate until his retirement in 2012.

His career included working on systems like the Brigade Subscriber Node and Joint Network Node, which eventually led to the current backbone of the Army’s communications system.

Shull served in support of operational testing for more than 39 years, becoming an early leader in the areas of information technology and test technology and eventually became the director of Test Technology Directorate until her retirement in 2014.

The Hall of Fame honors soldiers and civilians for their commitment to putting the best possible equipment and systems into the hands of soldiers in both training and combat conditions.
