White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer reported for U.S. Navy Reserve duty at the Pentagon Friday, donning his uniform, to fulfill his time in the public affairs office.
Spicer, a commander in the Navy Reserve, is currently assigned to the Joint Staffs naval reserve contingent in D.C. He joined the reserve in 1999, and graduated with a masters degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College in 2012. Spicer in the past has worked as a media planner for joint exercises in Guam, Germany and Sweden, and oversaw media coverage of Navy operations at McMurdo Station in Antarctica, according to the Military Times.
The Spicer sighting comes as President Donald Trump is away at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, weighing the possibility of intervening in North Korea if that country tests its nuclear program in the days ahead.

Obviously no slouch. Good for him.
His background complements the President Trump Admin.
The article is about “sporting” a snazzy uniform, yet did not show it, what asses.
LTC it looks to me. Damned msm.
I think he should wear his Naval Commander uniform at press briefings.
That makes him eminently qualified to explain to Susan "The Sifter" Rice that sifting through intel, people's emails and their personal info is NOT part of her job.
“US Navy Commander Spicer reporting for duty”
He is a US Navy Lieutenant Commander (LCDR)
No offense, but Sailors, both Os and Enlisted tend to be very particular about their Rank and Rate.
I stand corrected.
Really good on him. But, and I’m sorry, I can’t help but find the timing a little suspect.
I am impressed and I thank him for his service.
Yep always leave out the fun stuff - check here:

Glad to be back on the right! President Trump continues to impress
me. He choose actual citizens to serve in his administration not polished plastic types. Great to see he has hired a lot of veterans too. Now I totally like Spicer!
Nice!
Nice spotlight on Spitzer here.
There are so many reasons for me to have changed me tag line.
Very nice pic. Who is the man with him. He is a cutie.
Well what do you know. I liked this guy before, but a honest to God Reserve Officer...Good on you LCMDR Spicer, Good on you.
LTC, “lieutenant colonel” is often addressed as “Colonel”, I assume the same is true in the Navy. At least they didn’t call him “Commodore”.
A reservist reporting for duty in uniform? The outrage of the MSM! (Outdoors, of course, he should be covered).
Now “they” (the usual suspects) will hate him even more!
