New JSOC Commander - LTG Bryan Fenton

[Marauder06]

And there is potentially more from Fenton that we don't know about. As cadets he confidently told me, "After I retire, I will serve as the President of the United States."

I'd be OK with that.

When I read "BDE Command" I just want to know if they were in the NCR or Bragg for their SMU time.

New USASOC CSM was announced a few days ago it seems. 35P coming from SOCKOR.

I'm amazed at the number of commenters ive seen (across the web) that can't understand having a tab ≠ SOF.
She's got a lot of SMU time; that's pretty legit from my perspective.

Crazy eyes, just saying.

Right, wrong, or other, female servicemembers are judged more harshly than their male counterparts. To be fair, reasons behind those perceptions are usually outside of a woman's hands, but we already a lengthy thread on that topic.

The fact remains that she has a resume people would kill for. Not knowing anything about her, but thinking of the Navy Chief (Shannon Kent? Do I have that right?) who is lionized, Ima give the CSM the benefit of the doubt. Is she in her position because of politics? Don't know. Is she 100% deserving of her new position? Don't know.

14 deployments though? She's paid her dues. Hell, even 14 to Qatar would place her in rare company, much less trips to a two-way range.

I follow quite a few people on IG from the 35P community and they are certainly onboard with this. I wish her the best because the Army needs solid leadership right now.

With her MoS and assignments I am getting she wasn’t in Qatar

She probably has those MFF wings for a reason…

Yeah, I was being a bit...facetious might not be the right word, but taking a shot at those who crow about 3-4 deployments and then you find out they were to Kuwait or Qatar. I'm not implying that's what she did, but even if she did, the numbers are still impressive. You don't assess into a SMU and deploy to Qatar 14 times...even I know that.

Just a shot in blues, for those interested, and bio.

Yeah I was picking up what you were putting down. I was continuing it.
