Posted by: Raven1 at October 8, 2005 03:57 AMThe USAF commander makes TONS of attaboy commercials, constantly flitting around Europe and recording himself giving motivational blurbs on runways. I'd wager that we get one Doc Foglesong message per commercial break.
Posted by: Sarah at October 8, 2005 09:01 AMTrying living on base where the man works! Oye that was a pain in the rear. He carried a two way radio and called in violators of base regs like not ensuring your dog was more than 50 feet from housing before pooping. Yes I know some folks don't pick it up but you shouldn't live in fear of the two way radio!
His other favourtive was the "wing runs." He would tie up 3/4 of the base making all these folks in the wing run with him. No body could get in or off base for over an hour due to security and safety issues. He liked to do this once a blooming month!!!!

Posted by: Household6 at October 11, 2005 11:18 AMWhen I was deployed to an air base in Kuwait the last 2 Christmases, my reactions to his commercials ranged from gentle amusement to laughter to anger to wondering why his wife looks 90 years old. He certainly inspired me to make a Christmas wreath for my C-130. (See Christmas spot 2004). Now that's inspirational leadership!
