That is the best motivational speech I've seen!
Having been on active duty, I continually wonder how some folks are able to survive the Mickey Mouse imposed by sub-par control freaks working the lowest common denominator and still be able to do good for a lot of people. He appears to be one of the good survivors.
He also helped dispel the myth that all AF types have safe, cushy air-conditioned jobs.
BTW for sgt-murph: A fair number of AF pilots hoped that Jane would have pulled the trigger (actually foot-pedal) when she was photographed in the gunners chair of the AA gun in North Vietnam. The ROE would have allowed them to put a Mk 82 or two on her lap!
