No. Actually a shift supervisor for the G3, actual, running the night shift and participating, preparing or delivering the morning brief on 4 way split screen TV on 2 continents and mulitple countries, after receiving and compiling reports throughout the shift. I mostly only saw him for maybe half an hour before the night shift crew came in and then for a half hour or more, in the morning, usually after the brief was done. The Colonel was high speed low drag, had been a plans writer for Schwarzkopf. I learned a lot from him and being in that position of knowing what was going on in multiple theaters of operation, around the world, with two active operations (one NATO and one US). I did drink a lot of coffee, if that counts.Yeah, you probably made coffee for the general.
Oh, I did meet or pass the 2 star CG on occasion, but just in passing, though I did commandeer his jeep to get back to frankfort after an operation once. His E6 driver was a helluva guy, delivering my back to the American Embassy, where I BOQ'd.
