Following his discharge, he returned to Wellsburg and went back to work for H&H for a while before going to work for his uncle, Alle Jaspers, on his farm near Steamboat Rock.

Scott joined the 1133rd Transport Company of the Army National Guard in Mason City, and later became involved with Desert Storm, leaving for Saudi in November of 1990. Scott returned from his service in Saudi in March of 1991, and the following month he was discharged. In August of 1991, he became employed by Trans-Iowa Equipment Inc., in Clear Lake as a mechanic.

In June of 1993, Scott became ill and on August 26, 1994, he was hospitalized, first at the VA Hospital in Iowa City and later University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics.
