@wink thank you for the kind words! I can't believe I am coming up on 3 years since my appointment. This has been the best job of my modest career. Its great to be in the military context where your boss is there to support you and your mission and not defeat you. My supervisor is a young O-5 and my next level boss is young O-6 Strike Eagle guy who constantly reach out and give words of support and appreciation. I work hard but unlike at GE where the goal was to turn $1 to $1.10, the higher purpose matters. This experience has been a blessing.
