Which sites were these?Yep, and loved reading all of the crying online about it by squids.
@Devil Doc, I think what squids were crying about was not the fact acting Secretary was a Coast Guard veteran, but rather the fact that he attended the University of California, Berkeley. I kid my Cal friends calling their school UC “Berserkly” (great school by the way).Which sites were these?
ACTING SecNav@WT Door I agree, he appears to be an excellent choice for SECNAV.
Very good point. I forgot the "political" part of the equation. Any democrats with Navy ties available? Former SECNAV Mabus was a SWO and former governor of Mississippi. Who might fit the bill? Let's hope she's a good one!ACTING SecNav
No permanent/regular nomination has been made thus far but generally it will not be the acting who in this case is coming from the Comptrollers Office and probably will not be the eventual nominee.
Hopefully a lot better for the Navy than Mabus was.Very good point. I forgot the "political" part of the equation. Any democrats with Navy ties available? Former SECNAV Mabus was a SWO and former governor of Mississippi. Who might fit the bill? Let's hope she's a good one!

Oh, his CG resume looks good to me and I can where his policy experience would be of benefit in the E ring.Facebook, twitter, and comment boards.... It was a joy to read. and it was specifically about him being Coast Guard.
