CNO vs. Kid Rock


As I mentioned last week, we get a front row seat here at ISAF HQ for a number of politicians, high ranking officers and special dignitaries. While MC2 Ramirez was in RC South hanging out with Kid Rock, I was back here shaking hands with the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Gary Roughead. The CNO is the highest ranking officer in the United States Navy and second in line behind Donald Winter, the Secretary of the Navy. The only other four star in the Navy is Admiral Mike Mullen, who is currently the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. While I hate being away from my family during this special time of year, I don't think I'd be meeting these people back in Millington at my old job with NAVCO.
