Subject: FW: Obama's New Navy
cid:X.MA1.1460775294@aol.comAdmiral Michelle Howard, USN is not in command of the US Navy, and is probably not of the Muslim faith. However, she was recently promoted to Vice Chief of Naval Operations, second in command to the Chief of Naval Operations. The selection process leading to her promotion to 4 star rank and her current position, is rather unique in a peace time US Navy. Obama may be planning to eventually promote her to Chief of Naval Operations.
Admiral Howard had command of only one non-capital ship, the USS Rushmore (LSD-47), when she was promoted to Flag rank, which was unique. She eventually received orders as the Senior Military Assistant to the Secretary of the Navy, thru January 2009. It then appears that Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus may have mentored her thru one senior billet after another, by-passing other highly qualified combat trained more senior Flag Officers. During the process, she received orders to the proper Command and Staff Colleges, in order to prepare her for each new command assignment, Mabus’ careful guidance led her to her current billet.
In the last 7 years, Obama has modified the selection process for Flag and General Officer, by ensuring the potential selectee’s compliance with his very destructive and destabilizing 'Social Experiment On Diversity', as a condition for whether an officer will be considered for promotion to Admiral or General.
Over the last 7 years, Obama has relieved over 250 highly qualified and combat trained Flag, General, and Senior Officers; some should have been relieved for cause, but many were doing a superb job when they were summarily relieved.
