I remember the first conversation I had with the BEST E-7 I ever met and was proud to work for for 2.5 years....He called me in his office, introduced himself and started asking me stupid questions....
I interrupted him and asked him : "Chief, is this the interview where you decide whether I'm gonna be an asset to your division or a pain in your ass?"
He said "Yes."
I said "Well, I'm gonna be alittle of both. If there's work to be done get the hell outta my way and if there isn't leave me the fark alone."
He put his right hand under his chin, leaned over and rested his elbow on the desk looking me square in the eyes and replied "Can I hold you too that?"
"ABSOLUTELY" I said.
That was an easy 2.5 years.
