Moderators Gregory Matthews Posted April 26, 2018 Moderators Share Posted April 26, 2018 Rear Admiral (LH) R. L Jackson has withdrawn as the nominee to head the Department of Veterans' Affairs. It should be noted that the Veterans' Service Organizations generally did not approve and they have a powerful voice. A comment on his rank: The U.S. Navy has a unique system of rank in which some Rear Admirals are a one-star and others are a two star. A Rear Admiral (LH) is a one-star. This is what Jackson is. As was/is Admiral Bigger at Walla Walla. A Rear Admiral (UH) is a two -star. That is what Barry Black was/is. A Vice admiral is a three-star. An Admiral is a four-star. Just thought that all of our members would be wildly excited to learn that bit of trivia. Quote Gregory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
