I am told this may be a very difficult confirmation.

#5  IIRC he was nicknamed "Scott" because he was a great fan of ROCKY HORROR in his younger days.

82nd ABN, 2nd INF, 75th, Delta, ARSOC, now JSOC - good thing he stayed a regular 9-5 or 10-10 Soldier only and didn't become too involved wid CIA + NSA activities.

#3  The 'diva Ranger' decision was made at pay grades high above those found at Fort Benning. I can only guess the reasons for the suspected confirmation difficulty.

#2  Not PC enough?

I think that ticket's been punched:

His most recent billets have pushed him into the public light as the Army’s Ranger School, which falls under his watch, recently graduated the first three women in the storied course’s history.

#1  Why would it be difficult, Besoeker? Looks like a good candidate for the slot, at least from my outside perspective. Not PC enough?
