57. I didn't work for him, but I did support him for about 12 hours once...

...He was headed to the Middle East and stopped in Rota, Spain where I was stationed. He was delayed due to weather in AFG. There is a VIP room set up in the Air Terminal there, but there was no connectivity of any sort. So given my job at the time, while I was still Active Duty, we had to set up the VIP room with NIPR/SIPR drops for him and his staff. I remember his Comms person (Kayla? She was an Army Captain.), she was really, really cool and bought me and the three Sailors working with me lunch. He spent time thanking each of us, asking us about our lives, and just seemed genuinely interested in hearing what we had to say. And of course, he gave each of us a coin. Pretty dope.
