Wait. I wasn't aware the Senate has to approve military officer promotions. msfiddlestix May 2021 #49

Senate confirmation is required only for O-6 and above. TomSlick May 2021 #53

Interesting. I never knew this.. I guess it's almost a pro-forma matter sort of speak? msfiddlestix May 2021 #54

I didn't know either until I came up on the Army O-6 list. TomSlick May 2021 #56

Again, interesting! So, no committee hearing appearances as such? msfiddlestix May 2021 #57

No hearings or appearances - just waiting for the decision. TomSlick May 2021 #58
