WHO IS THE BEST LEADER, MANAGER, OR COMMANDER YOU EVER WORKED FOR?
Mine was my Mentor/Commander (RET) Colonel John P. Edwards. He was my Commander at the 357th Aviation Detachment, SHAPE, Belgium and inspired me to become an officer and finish college, and reach for the STARS.
Who was the BEST ever for you?

Mad Dog Mattis was my regimental Commander. I got to interact with him on a close, but not personal level three times.

That is the difference between citizens and civilians. The enemy fears Mattis, which is called logic.

Well I'd have to say it is you COL Mikel J. Burroughs. Oh wait, I never worked for you but if I did I'm sure you'd take the title.

I would trade COL Mikel J. Burroughs over all the O-5’s and O-6’s for whom I worked... all of which were expletive deleted’s...

Mine was Major Jackson, CC of "A" Co. 229th AHB, Vietnam. He was the best I've ever had, I got to gun for him several times. He was a great sport too. I captured a chicken from a village and brought her back to our AO. I named her Henrietta. She liked to sip beer every night with us when we had time to sit around and tell stories. He liked for Henrietta to sit on his shoulder and drink beer with him. We would laugh our heads off while he was telling stories. Not because his stories were funny, but because Henrietta was pooping down his back. This would go on until she got drunk and fell off his shoulder.
