He joined the United States Air Force in 1979 and graduated from Officer Training School in March, 1980.

From 1983-1985 Major Greer attended St. Louis University while on active duty and earned a Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering. While attending St. Louis University, Major Greer carried the Olympic Torch for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics on its way through St. Louis. He then went to Vandenberg Air Force Base in Central California and Los Angeles Air Force Base (yes there is a base in LA!) to launch weather, communication, interplanetary and "spy" satellites. His final tour of duty was teaching Masters level coursework at the Air Command and Staff College at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery, AL.
