It’s now Brigadier/General Kevin “Potts” Pottinger

It’s now official. One of our favorite Colonels, and a good friend of FWAPC, is now a General.
What a well deserved promotion for a really great man. The weather was perfect for the outdoor ceremony which was attended by a very large crowd of invitees; a tribute to the popularity and respect for the General Pottinger.

“Potts” good friend, mentor and FWAPC member, M/Gen James Sluder, conducted the ceremony. The pinning of the stars was handled by General Sluder and “Potts” wife. His daughter and his son, a 2nd Lt. USAF, added the shoulder boards with his new rank.

Following the ceremony, guests were invited to a BBQ dinner on the shores of Lake Worth, and, naturally, your fellow FWAPC members enjoyed .
