Under Secretary of the United States Army Brad Carson
 

Lead by example - to some, it's more than just a slogan.

And so it goes...

Richard

No umbrella for him
 

No umbrella for him - and the Combat Diver should have looked happier.

That's exactly what I would expect from an Okie, Baylor grad, military service veteran, and tribal member of the Cherokee nation! Let's hope we can keep him and his kind in the service to this great nation.

Great post Richard. Where there is one, there must be others. A reason for hope. :lifter

Probably having a hard time spitting Copenhagen and carrying on a conversation through that damned regulator. :D

Who's the guy in the background with the ponytail?

Diver looks like a mannequin.

That guy is a gal.

A COL Thompson, looks like Recruiting Command, if I don't miss my patch ID.

TR

That is not an absolute anymore. :munchin

Don't ask, don't tell ;)

Don't ask, I will tell you anyway. Proudly.

Its a shame that we have such quality representation in DC these days that a VIP standing in the rain for a demonstration that was only set up so he could see it, is considered our best example of leading by example.

Hats off to the Undersecretary.


...now, why wasn't that mod-demo set up with some overhead cover?


Maybe the SWO was busy that day and didn't have time to read the weathetr forecast.

I did several on Red Cycle one for the SFA at Carlisle, PA (03) and one at USASOC for incoming Ambassadors (I don't remember the year) at each one, we had the tents put up and it never rained. Does the SWO ever work?

Aim low, go SWO!!!

PS. At the SFA convention, I got to meet Gary Beikirch (MOH, RVN) and Surgeon Gen Richard Carmona (SF Medical Sergeant, RVN) :D:D:D
