Good man.
Looks like white SF may be getting a proven leader to pull things together and fight for us in the Box.

He's on my (very) short list of guys I'd put a uniform back on to serve with again.

Any word on if that CFSOCC will control all SOF, or just CJSOTF?
Yes, good pick.

I had to interact with COL. Reeder during the Chariot 51 Crash investigation in Afghanistan. He was BN Commander then. Nothing less then complete Professionalism from him and his staff.

Congrats BG Reeder
Best Commander I ever had. At 65 I would still put the uniform back on to serve with him. I first meet him as a young CPT and knew that one day he would make BG.

We've been discussing this at work for a while now. Nice to see the rumor confirmed in writing. Life will be interesting for everybody!

Worked for Ed several times
Starting with when I first met him when we were going through SFQC, class 2-87. Being an 18E, I'd like to think I helped him pass the course by not losing the crypto! Worked for him again when he was 2/3rd SFG(A) Cdr in Afghanistan in 2003 and when he was CJSOTF-A Cdr in Afghanistan in 2006. I've attached our class photo with Ed Reeder, Hector Pagan, and myself circled. Good times.

Reeder
First met Gen. Reeder in Wardak, Afghanistan doing a PSD. Got in a firefight picking him up and dropping him off. When we told him, he said,"Right on". Anyways, met him again at the funeral of my good friend SSG Kyle Warren. Just want to say I think he is a great guy and good leadership for the future of SF.

I had the honor of meeting him a couple of weeks ago. Made a hell of an impression on me.
