7th SFGA Change of Command - 7 JUl 2011
 

BG Edward Reeder (USASFC CDR) with COL Antonio Fletcher (Incoming 7th SFGA CDR) and COL James Craft (Outgoing 7th SFGA CDR) at Meadows Field, Eglin AFB, FL, 7 Jul 2011.

Well worth getting up at 0245 to make the 0415 manifest. BG Reeder spoke at length, one of the best CofC speeches I've ever heard (helps to have your roots in "The Family Business"!), COL Kraft followed suit, and COL Fletcher put the icing on the cake. 7th marches forward in good hands. (And only four observed casualties to the Florida sun! :p Course one of them was front and center in the middle of the CG's speech! :rolleyes:)

Got to see the new compound for the first time - all I can say is WOW! Still a lot to do, it'll be a work in progress throughout COL Fletcher's tour but a phenomenal facility nonetheless.

Thank God Gorton didn't get 7th.
