6/10/2013 9:06:23 AM ET I echo the others in saying General Gorenc is a Class act. I worked for him twice in my career Kadena and Balad. The United States and our AF got it right when they selected him to Command USAFE and AFAFRICA. Congrats General.

6/7/2013 1:14:51 PM ET Humble describes Lt Gen Gorenc well. I served with him on the ACCA1 staff in the early 90s when he was a Major. When I congratulated him for being on the Lt Col select list he said Chief sometimes the AF lets one slide through. Great leader then and now. Congratulations and thanks for your continued service.
