At a time when Defense Secretary Robert Gates is swinging a budget cut axe, he is still adding personnel on the key area of doing better taking care of vets and military families. Here are two appointments made in mid-August — anyone know these two?:
John Campbell has been appointed to the Senior Executive Service and is assigned as deputy under secretary of defense for wounded warrior care and transition policy (personnel and readiness), Washington, D.C. Campbell previously served as chief executive officer of MyVetwork, New York.
Robert L. Gordon III has been appointed to the Senior Executive Service and is assigned as deputy under secretary of defense for military community and family policy (personnel and readiness), Washington, D.C. Gordon previously served as senior vice president for Civic Leadership, Boston, Mass.
Meanwhile, I wonder if Gates’ attack on JFCOM and contractors is going to change the retirement patterns of colonels. Suddenly the chances of double-dipping look a lot slimmer, so there is more incentive to stay in.
