It is my privilege and great pleasure to inform you that VADM Rogers' nomination for appointment to the rank of Admiral and assignment as Commander, U.S. Cyber Command and as Director, National Security Agency was confirmed by the Senate yesterday. This is not only a testament to Admiral Rogers' unparalleled leadership and professional qualifications; it is a profound expression of faith by the nation's political leaders in his personal ability. Moreover, yesterday was an historic moment for the Information Dominance Corps. Not since ADM Bill Studeman's tenure as Deputy Director of the CIA in the 1990s have the communities comprising the current IDC had a flag officer who achieved a fourth star.
Please join me in congratulating Admiral Rogers on this well-earned and well-deserved career accomplishment!

Yes. They have trouble getting even the little things right.
At some point, are we going to get past the whole restricted/unrestricted line thing?
To NG36B, no, I don't think so. The URL are held accountable whereas, the RL, not so much.
Yup, you did a great job holding my submarine skipper accountable, who lied about everything from mission to chemistry records. You really did a number on him when you allowed him to retire since the URL community was too scared to take him to Admiral's Mast. Did a great job holding Holly Graff and a host of others accountable at all levels. Or hey, all those URL folks that worked on LCS and did such a great job there are being held accountable by being promoted to their next rank!
Sorry Anonymous, your argument holds no water. URL have just as many accountability issues as others. They didn't hold people accountable when I was in submarines, and they still don't today.
Most of the Navy is already over the URL/RL thing - it's an antiquated construct held to by certain senior officers as a means to appear superior over the others...just another example of Navy diversity disguising discrimination.
This...
