Drop a name - who is the best Leader/Manager/Comander you ever worked for?

my 1st NCOIC after graduating AIT SFC Albert Grob

I've forgotten their names, but remember faces. So, Colonel Mikel Burroghs is my favorite leader. He kind of took me in, as I was a lost. I'm greatful.

My battery commander Captain Tony Staheiski His leader ship when the battery was being over run on the Kum River 14 July 1950 by heavy mortar and machinegun fire as we tried to CSMO sign 40 yards

The best enlisted mentor would be Master Chief (SW) George Harmon, met him while stationed in Winter Harbor Maine. Top Officer Rear Admiral Anthony M. Kurta he was my Commanding Officer when serving on Mine Sweepers. One of the best project managers and strategic thinkers I have known. I am still in contract with both. There were others in my career that were above bar, but both of these leaders inspired me to reach beyond my comfort level as well as my all time medicine leader, mentor and will always be LT Richard Mondak. I was blessed with great leaders my entire career.

I'm going to go micro on this one. My third company commander while assigned to 1-28, 4IBCT, 1ID...Doug Wolfe.

That man was and continues to be an inspirational leader. He understands what it means to be a servant leader, and "eat last".

He has the uncanny ability to get a whole room to laugh with his lighthearted humor while simultaneously demanding their attention through the respect they have for him.

I think I'll call him to say thanks for his leadership.

Thank you COL Mikel J. Burroughs , for reminding me to be grateful to the great leaders in my life.

This is easy. It as 1Sgt. Kendricks. He was the "Top" in H&HQ Company of the 80th Div. Committee Group. I would be willing to follow him anywhere.

Major David Pierce, a Blackhawk pilot turned into ADA Cmdr. Smart, unassuming and modest, he could lead better than anyone I ever dealt with at that level. I consider it my best time spent in the Army to have served as his First Sergeant.

General Donald Infante, as a Colonel he was my Battalion Commander, later Commandant of Ft Bliss and eventually VP of Raytheon. Also General Norman Schwarzkopf, who was my boss during Desert Storm and I briefed him almost daily.

Colonel S. Gradford at Bagram. U.S. Army. USFOR-A.

SMaJ Hutchinson was my 1/sgt in Korea and my Smaj in Vietnam.
Chief George Thompson, Coatesville Pa. Chief John Armenta VA San Francisco both risked their careers for mine. All Dead
