Funny thing is about 1,000 other people were "personally invited" to meet him too.  If I squinted really hard I could kind of see him waaayyyyyy up front. |
I met Frank Kelso when he was CinCLANT one time. I was the glorified doorwatch at ASWOC Bermuda when he came in. Our A-hole OinC was there to greet him, and Kelso ignored him and instead chatted with me for about 15 minutes before letting the OinC take him back for his brief. I thought it was cool that Kelso would take the time to chat with an E-5, but the OinC was pissed at me for taking up "his" time... E-5s should be seen and not heard thing.
