More jobs others don't want to do dumped on the IO community. A convenient way for the URL flags to shed responsibility.

"It will continue until the IDC becomes a URL community."

Don't see this happening by the Navy's hand. RL as the Deputy and an RL nominated to be the Commander. Doesn't send a good signal for converting the IDC.

Has nothing to do with the gentlemen. Don't know the Deputy but he's a Flag so he has to have bona fides. Do know the prospective Commander and he's right for the job.

Nonetheless, Navy has much bigger issues to address than changing the IDC from RL to URL.
