Well, it's not that rare or unusual, a good guy/gal in the Air Force. But you tend to hang on to them as much as you can, because the jerks eventually wear them down too.
This Lt Col is a great guy. Pushed the mission but only within reason, and took care of his people.
Found a pic from a few years ago... he's on the second row, first from the left. I'm third from the left.
