Also, that's pretty cool you were kicking it with the big guys. What was to occasion?

Even if that were the case, there is no way we'd pull out anytime in the next four years. We're just now getting "alligators" (think neighborhood watch) on our side and talking to our intell people. That's a big step for sure, but for the overall goal we're still crawling. Horrible analogy, I know...
In regards to the, "What was the occasion?": The high-ups are finally realizing that they're becoming outdated by us newer and smarter Airmen that come in with a few years of college under our belts, and new blood means new ideas just as was said about the presidential candidates in this thread. Every once and a while a DV likes to sit down with "the brightest young Airmen" and hear what we have to say and what we're finding wrong with today's Air Force. I was recently awarded Airman of the Year and promoted early, so I was chosen to represent my Civil Engineering squadron.
