Always good to promote a guy who "effects" things

This guy should only be promoted if he can actually remember what his job title is and say it twice in a row correctly.

There is a Joint Effects Cell within the CJSOTFs. They manage effects, like PSYOP. It is spelled correctly, BTW.

The JIEDDO is an important resource against IEDs, which are killing too many of our brothers.
Anyone else we should make fun of?

BG Scott F. "Rock" Donahue...
BG Donahue has been my mentor since I served under his battalion command in the 10th Mountain Division as a young lieutenant. He was, perhaps, one of the most demanding commanders I have ever had and he brought out the best in me.
There are a few people in life who actually live by a set of principles that are very sacred to them - BG Donahue is such a man. As my commander, he totally encouraged that I remain in the Corps of Engineers as my basic branch. But, as an officer that had been "raised" in the 82d Airborne Division, he totally understood my desire to challenge myself and serve at another level. Thus, he totally encouraged me to succeed at every step of my journey through SFAS, the Q Course and through all the trials of my career. I keep contact with him as time allows. I wish him success.

FWIW: Although he wasn't my BN CDR (I had THE other guy), I recall that Chris Haas was a no-sh*t, for-real kinda guy. Glad to see him on the list.

I worked with him many years ago (CPT then MAJ Haas back then) at JRTC. Good officer, I wish we had more like him.
