- Okay.
So here's what's going on.
So, I bagged groceries in Ramstein in 1975.
- Seriously.
- And my first boss when I was in high school was Charlie.
So, Charlie wants to know if I still got it.
So can I bag your groceries for you?
- [Soldier] Yes Sir.
- [Narrator] After visiting several Air Force
installations in the Middle East.
- Hey Charlie.
- [Narrator] General Goldfein
has time for one last visit with an old friend.
The General is just one of hundreds of baggers
since the 70's that Charlie has trained.
Which is impressive.
But his memory of his baggers
and their lives afterward is incredible.
- A lot of colonels, a lot of chiefs they all come back.
- Yeah?
- But they don't forget their first job.
- That's right.
- [Narrator] It would seem Charlie isn't just training
employees, he's training Airmen.
- Yeah, it just comes back to you like it was yesterday.
How old are you now?
- Almost 80.
^Here's the old commissary.
- Oh yeah.
^(Commissary noises)
^- [Charlie] That's the guy who hired me.
^- [General] Paper or plastic?
(Laughing)
- Sir. (laughing)
- I'm serious.
- Plastic.
- Plastic, alright.
You make me feel like I should be bagging.
(Laughing)
- It's my privilege, an honor.
- So we're teaching a course tomorrow.
A flight leaders course.
So this is going to be an example that I use about
serving leadership.
- Thank you, man.
- Pleased to meet you.
- Great meeting you.
- [Narrator] Perhaps General Goldfein first learned
about service before self in a place like this.
And perhaps Charlie's teaching that lesson
to the future Chief of Staff.
- [General] So how much longer you
going to keep working here?
- [Charlie] Well, as long as my health holds up.
Why should I stop?
- You gotta raise the next generation of Generals.
- Oh no.
- [Narrator] Senior Airmen Nicholas Crisp,
Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
