Well deserved! I'm thrilled to hear confirmation of the rumors. RDML Leigher has worked long and hard to advance the role of Information Warfare in the Navy. I have no doubt he will continue to push us all to achieve what we thought to be impossible.
It's kind of funny that anyone was surprised by this. Didn't anyone see the message last fall that stated there was a zone of one to pick one IWO RADM? Not to take anything away from Admiral Leigher, but this was decided months ago. We were only waiting on the results. Rumors? Please.

Perhaps we all don't have the refined understanding of the process that you have. Excuse our ignorance.
