I don't see that he meets . He was a navy captain which isn't a flag officer; he doesn't have the highest medals for bravery; he's not made a contribution to military science or technology or played a leading role in a major event.  CO of the Naval ROTC is much lower than Chief of Army Staff (the given example of a notable position in ).  He comes close to meeting  but the coverage is mostly very local press (Pagosa Sun) and some newsletters; a document hosted on scouting.org doesn't count for notability, and nor does http://www.caller2.com/1999/august/06/today/local_ne/4130.html this brief mention in a news story, or a report in The Talon, "a community-input newsletter" from Aztec, NM.  Being a distinguished eagle scout doesn't make him notable (it has zero independent press coverage) and nor does running an airport.  If there are articles about him in national press/major newspapers, or material in books from major publishers, I would reconsider, but Google Books doesn't show anything
