secretary of the A F and Jim

Here are a couple pictures with Jim this week as he met the Secretary of the Air Force- Mr. Michael Donley.

With any job, I  think it's a cool thing to meet the guy at the top.

It was always fun to see who came through the lines while I was working at Alaska Airlines.

Checking in the VP's, politicians, athletes and celebrities always added a little more cool-ness to an otherwise long shift. 
 Of course, some are more cool than other. I wasn't impressed {no surprise} with Governor Murkowski.

In the Air Force, this guy IS the man.

The Secretary of the Air Force is Michael B. Donley, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force is  Gen. Norton A. Schwartz. 
 According to the Official Site of the U.S. Air Force, Mr. Michael B. Donley is the 22nd Secretary and was confirmed Oct. 2, 2008. He is responsible for the affairs of the Department of the Air Force, including the organizing, training, equipping and providing for the welfare of its more than 333,000 men and women on active duty, 178,000 members of the Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve, 182,000 civilians, and their families. He also oversees the Air Force's annual budget of more than $110 billion. 

What a job. Can you imagine the stress?
