Appointed in 2009?
Appointed to the position in 2009?
So she would have been there at least two years now.
Isn't that about move on or retire time?

With a nickname and reputation of being "No Slack" and the DSS Commandant, there are a number of things she could be being investigated for - I'll await the report.

Well, for one thing, IIRC, she managed to get from 2001 to 2009 without deploying to OIF or OEF.
Couldn't believe that after eight years of war, they would select a non-combat vet to run training of our young warriors, so I guess this shouldn't surprise me either.

I wonder if CSM King listened to one part of a Wanda Sykes routine while neglecting another.
(FWIW, CSM King was the subject of a previous discussion, located here.)

This is what stands out to me as well. I can see missing it for up to four years or so depending on where you are and when...but to miss both major theaters over an eight year period...that reeks of trying to avoid a deployment.

1. (n.) A multi-purpose response, primarily used to imply a degree of indifference. Tone of voice and circumstance often implies a meaning. Can be used when you don't want to answer an awkward or embarrassing question, or if you just plain have nothing else to say, and you want the other person to interpret the "meh" however he/she chooses. As in: Q: "What do you think of my new dress?" A: "Meh." or Q: "What do you want to do tonight?" A: "Meh."
Stay safe.

And maybe getting special treatment.
How can you call yourself a professional soldier during major conflicts and not clamor to get deployed at least once?

...and somehow, still never saw the other side of the pond during a combat deployment?
I am incredibly underwhelmed...

Sounds like politics to me...both keeping her out of overseas operations and removing her from her current post.

And so it goes...

Well... the last comment in the 'This Aint Hell' blog entry is just hear-say, so charges of drinking and screwing a subordinate are of little interest to me as they stem from a third party informant on an internet blog. However, of much more serious issue is the problem with her nickname; if she had the nickname "no-slack" because SHE put it on the vanity plates of her car...
...that is just plain unsatisfactory.
EVERYONE knows it is against the rules to proclaim your own nickname. That alone should be grounds for 'conduct unbecoming' charges.
