*****UPDATE: I've done it again! Anthony, why aren't you watching? The link at the bottom now goes where it should (The Senate Armed Services Committee) as opposed to where it shouldn't (The House Armed Services Committee)!!!!! I got impatient, so I called. It is not scheduled yet, but the very nice nominations clerk, Leah, told me they were hoping for next week. She also said it would definitely be this month.********

By President Bush nominated Vice Adm. Jonathan Greenert on Friday for a fourth star and a new assignment as head of Fleet Forces Command in Norfolk, Va.
Greenert is deputy chief of naval operations for integration of capabilities and resources in the chief of naval operations’ office. Pending the Senate’s consent, Greenert will take current Fleet Forces Commander Adm. Gary Roughead’s job in Norfolk and Roughead will move north to replace Adm. Mike Mullen as chief of naval operations.
Mullen will become Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff this fall.
Fleet Forces Command oversees naval air, surface and submarine forces, Navy Expeditionary Combat Command, Naval Network Warfare Command, Military Sealift Command and other subcommands.
A former 7th Fleet commander, Greenert was the expected choice for the job, according to several defense analysts who follow the sea service.
In 1992, the admiral won the Vice Adm. Stockdale Award for inspirational leadership, an award Mullen won in 1987
