Monday, June 09, 2008
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary Robert Gates on Monday recommended Gen. Norton Schwartz be next Air Force chief of staff, the top uniformed leader of the service.
"Today I provided my recommendation to the resident for the nominations to the top civilian and military leadership positions in the Air Force," Gates said in a statement.
"I recommend that Michael Donley be nominated to serve as Secretary of the Air Force," Gates said. The name had surfaced as a likelihood last week.
"I further recommend to the President that General Norton Schwartz be nominated to serve as the Air Force Chief of Staff," Gates said.

A "former" Green Beret to head the Air Force? LOL I love Karma.
Donley held positions in the 1980s on the National Security Council, where he directed defense programs, as well as on the Senate Armed Services Committee, where he was a professional staff member.
He served in the Army's 18th Airborne Corps and
5th Special Forces Group from 1972 to 1975. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in international relations from the University of Southern California.
