What leader changed your life for the better? You know, that man or woman who was a true leader of courage and character ? Who cared about those under him or her. The leader you would like to emulate? The one who was humble but commanded the respect of all around him or her? Could be an officer, an NCO, or any MOS.
Mine is COL Andy Hilmes and CSM Alan Hummel . Both were my command team when I served 3-1 Cav, 3ABCT , 3rd ID as Squadron Chaplain. I saw that team care deeply about all Soldiers, even the dirtbags they were releasing. It was amazing. I will say that Hilmes was more 'pastoral' to me than all of my civilian pastors I ever had . That leader continues to be one I would follow anywhere. And he and CSM Hummel are cut from the same cloth. I am an officer but I silently refer to Hummel as 'Sir.' The guy can be tough as nails, but kind as a teddy bear. Both of these men have wives who are dynamic leaders in their own right. These two showed me what is RIGHT with the Army and what is RIGHT with America. I am blessed to know these two leaders.

Chaplain Ross was my one leader. I am in a fantastic unit and I have amazing leaders. Ross was always supportive of a lower enlisted like me, I wasn't like by anyone and he did everything he could to help me. Pushing my ranking ceremony, helping people feel comfortable to come talk to me. He went above and beyond and I will never forget him. HE EVEN DID PT WITH ME. He motivated me to be a HUA soldier I hope everyone finds there own leader.
