When time permitted and in between deployments Osmun dedicated much of his time volunteering with various sports programs, including middle and high school football and baseball in California, South Carolina, Okinawa, Japan, and Tennessee. Over the last 15 years he has served as an assistant coach, head coach, coach coordinator, and league administrator.
