Err, shouldn’t that be “Vice Admiral” Nina M. Armagno? *grin* AW1 Rod sends.<\/p>\n

Then, Congress Stepped In<\/h3>\n

By Oriana Pawlyk<\/strong><\/p>\n

The U.S. Space Force was all ready to move ahead with announcing a rank structure — until lawmakers stepped in, according to the newest military branch’s top enlisted adviser.<\/p>\n

Chief Master Sgt. Roger Towberman on Wednesday said that an amendment proposed by Rep. Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, that would require the service to use Navy ranks, stalled the sixth’s military branch’s plans to roll out a personnel structure<\/p>\n

“So we’ve got to let that law, that legal system play out, and until it plays out, there’s really no point right moving forward,” Towberman said during a Q&A segment during the Air Force Sergeants’ virtual symposium.<\/p>\n

Crenshaw, a former Navy SEAL who was medically retired as a lieutenant commander, proposed an amendment in the House version of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, requiring “the same system and rank structure as is used in the Navy,” for the Space Force according to a summary of the text. The House and Senate have passed their versions of the NDAA, and the chambers will meet to iron out the differences after the August recess.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Heh. I suppose y’all know how I’ll vote. Read the rest of the article here: Military.com<\/a><\/p>\n
