ATLANTA, GEORGIA, 5 February 2007.[photo] Ms. Chris Wehrenberg and Captain Joseph Re, both of the Coast Guard’s Office of Performance Management & Decision Support, presented Neal B. Thayer, an organizational performance consultant assigned to the Thirteenth Coast Guard District in Seattle, Washington, with a plaque designating him the Coast Guard’s Ancient Consigliere. The Ancient Consigliere is an award similar to the Coast Guard’s Ancient Mariner for cutter personnel or the Ancient Albatross for aviators; the Ancient Consigliere is the organizational performance consultant who has the longest continuous tenure.

You really should go read the whole thing.
