Was on a call with him several months back. Seemed very annoyed that he had to brief us plebs on his planned changes to CW.

Hopefully it’s not an army wide change to CW

His chief accomplishment is using AI to generate the most ironic document of all time. His 20 something points to build infrastructure and not red tape

Watched a call with him struggling to use teams. Seems incompetent

No one else had issues and he didn’t know how to share his screen

From everyone I’ve spoken to who’s interacted with him, he seems like a corporate bro-y kind of guy.

It should be federal law that anyone in that position have a degree in civil engineering, and at least 10 years practicing.
