SECDEF Names 'Military Professionalism' Adviser

[Richard]

Not a good sign when when SECDEF appoints an O-8 to stand up an office to remind the services to get their collective s**t together.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has tapped a two-star admiral and former Naval Academy commandant to serve as his “senior adviser for military professionalism,” a newly created position to tackle military ethics problems.

The selection of Rear Adm. Margaret “Peg” Klein comes more than a month after Hagel declared military ethics to be a top concern in response to a string of embarrassing incidents involving misconduct in the ranks.

Klein will “focus on ethics, character, and competence in all activities at every level of command with an uncompromising culture of accountability. This will continue to be a top priority for DoD’s senior leadership,” Hagel said in a statement Tuesday afternoon.

Klein is a pilot who flew EC-130 Compass Calls and E-6 Mercury aircraft. She served as the No. 2 officer at the Naval Academy and, most recently, as chief of staff for U.S. Cyber Command.

No, it's not; IMO, it's a disgrace and a disaster.

Sounds like you will get an Article 15 for farting in formation...

These guys don't seem to "get it". STOP the general's from picking general's who "look like them" (both in attitude and spirit) and the problem will be solved.

these guys couldn't find a hooker in a whorehouse with a handful of twenties.

Don't hold back sir.

They have a good example. A Congress that has a mandate to keep a rein on the Executive and, when it can't due to lack of stones, they think they need to pass a measure to tell the Executive just how un-nice they are when their recourse was written for them a long time ago.

With the requisite "staff" this should make a good parking garage for some otherwise "hit the road" candidates. They're downsizing, right?
