No, Rich was a missile guy, not a combat pilot. But he does have a pilot license.

I wouldn't say he was lacking in executive leadership. When I worked with him, he was the Military Assistant to the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense for Policy (Technology Security) so he was pretty involved at a high level for a number of issues. And when he worked for the Air Force Secretary, he represented the USAF on some pretty high level issues involving the sale of aircraft to foreign governments.

The thing about Rich is that he is gifted in bringing people together. And since the VA GOP is trying to repair a splintered party, I think that Rich will do them a lot of good. He told me that he really isn't interested in serving long term as an elected official, but is really interested in working within the party. And he could have made a very comfy living as a beltway contractor, but chose public service. The pay for the job is only $18K, and he has to raise $500K for his campaign.

He was also an Eagle Scout.
