"Lt. Col. Phil Johnson was a savior! Los Angeles AFB had the makings of a public affairs disaster. BRAC '95, Gov. Pete Wilson's visit, and military housing, all provided opportunities to cause political embarrassment if we misspoke. We didn't, thanks to Phil's leadership and media expertise. When "CBS Sixty Minutes" came, Phil gave outstanding advice. No ambushes occurred!"

Lt. Gen. Edward P. Barry, Commander
AF Space and Missile Systems Center
Los Angeles AFB, CA.


"His aggressive efforts in executing the AF's immensely successful Y2K global outreach program ensured that more than ten million people, including AF members and their families worldwide, were well informed of the AF's personnel, financial and mission readiness."
