DEFENDER NAMED JOINT STAFF ACTION OFFICER OF THE YEAR!
From the Top Cop: Defenders, earlier this week, I attended an amazing event at which a fellow Defender, Lt Col Robert "Bobby" Ford, Jr., was recognized by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff as the Joint Staff Action Officer of the Year. To be specific, our nation's top military officer, General Martin Dempsey, hailed Bobby as the Pentagon's top action officer because of the outstanding work he did for the J3 (Ops) Directorate in direct support of the President and SECDEF. Also, this distinguished him as the best of the best amongst his Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps peers. All this from an officer who started his career working gates as a young enlisted SP!! It further proves my belief that, given the opportunity, Defenders can do anything … and do it superbly. Lt Col Ford is leaving the Joint Staff this summer and headed to command of the 802 SFS at Lackland where they quickly appreciate what a great leader he is. Thanks for making us proud, Bobby – HOOHA!!!
