Finally...

By Bull Nav

Well, with a big tip-o-the-hat to BostonMaggie, and after much anticipation, we now know (from Stars and Stripes):

Defense Secretary Robert Gates has decided to recommend Adm. Gary Roughead, head of U.S. Fleet Forces Command, as the next Chief of Naval Operations, Defense officials said Thursday.
Gates told senior combatant commanders about his decision Thursday during a conference at the Pentagon, officials said.

So now we will see the ripple, but I am sure that is all figured out.

Thank you! I am terribly excited. But remember, don't jinx it. No premature celebrating. This is just the first step. He needs the CINC nomination and Senate confirmation. I have no worries, he will be fab.............but no jumping the gun.

Look at the downside. Willard stays at CPF.

Instead of meeting the front end of a bus.........
