President Trump nominated former Virginia Republican Senate candidate Hung Cao – an outspoken proponent of toughening up the standards for military service – to serve as the under secretary of the Navy on Thursday.
“Hung is the embodiment of the American Dream,” Trump said of his pick to serve as the second-highest ranking Navy official.

Great pick huge loss to VA.
I'm happy to see him in this new role!
God's Speed!
No trannies in that guy’s Navy.
Retired Navy Captain Hung Cao came to the United States as a refugee from Vietnam in 1975. After a few years in West Africa, Hung moved to Virginia as a child and is a proud member of the inaugural graduating class of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria.
He was commissioned as a Special Operations Officer (Explosive Ordnance Disposal and Deep Sea Diving) from the United States Naval Academy, and served with special operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Somalia. Hung’s non-combat assignments included balancing the Navy’s $140 billion budget at the Pentagon, working with Homeland Security, and the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.
Hung received his Masters degree in physics from the Naval
Postgraduate School, and fellowships at MIT and Harvard.
He and his wife April are the parents of five beautiful children. After their thirteenth move across the United States, and around the world, Hung and April moved their family home to Purcellville, Virginia where they have been active in their community and church.
Wonderful news.
Shame on you Virginia for not electing him.
Former Seal demolition expert. Tough as all get out. Should know what he is talking about.
Cao or Kaine. Virginia chose Kaine. Losers!
Sounds very well qualified
But President Trump hate migrants!!
Love this guy. So glad he got a position in the administration
Youngkin is great, but I think VA is lost anyway.
Cao is a little confused here.
Regards,
I would like to see a little swagger brought back to the Navy, and introduced to the Air Force.
If the Navy and Air Force would increase their physical standards and find a little time for some basic weapon handling and some hand to hand training I think that, and being stronger and in better shape, would instill a little something special in the wearing of those uniforms, it would make them feel a little more special, a little more military, a little more capable of winning bar fights.
In this modern military of high pay, personal cars, off base living and eating, families, females, and easier living and a less masculine atmosphere, a lot of them need more military dosing, more reinforcing of who they are and what they are a part of, and what their purpose is, they are unique, special, and to be that means they have to live it.
First I have heard of the guy. He seems tough as nails. He epitomizes what MAGA is about. Two thumbs up from me!👍👍
Love the ad he ran during his Senate run (Elon “re-tweeted” or “re-X’ed?? it:):

He truly is! A great appointment!
He lost in his bid for The Senate in VA. I'm not sure what his immediate political future was in the state as Sears will run for governor.
I’m still amazed the Dems managed to run a VP candidate more weird that Tim Kaine, with Tim Walz.
Kaine is a disgrace, but voters in Arlington / Alexandria / Fairfax County must feel differently.
