Hmm... for this I'm going to say Maj. Darryl Sandberg (Doc Sandberg as i called him), a Physician's Assistant that I worked with 7 years in the Army. He taught me everything about being a medic and encouraged me into pursuing Infectious Diseases. Plus he was one of the few that didn't treat me like a broken toy after I got hurt during our deployment.
His no-bullshit attitude to medicine is how I go about treating patients to this day. "You want hugs and kisses for your boo-boos and ouches? Go find a nurse. We don't coddle in THIS Aid Station." Surprising that he manages to stay humble with everything he has accomplished. Plus the guy was a comedian; never a dull moment.
Coolest officer I still have the pleasure of knowing.
