Check out the bio of Hill AFB's Vice Commander.

She's been in the military since 1975 and is as battle-hardened as a sack of wet mush. Her list of Pentagon staff jobs sure is impressive! I'll bet the citation for her Legion of Merit medal is real impressive, too. Probably got it at the Pentagon for shining some General's shoes, cleaning his office, and keeping his paperwork organized above and beyond the call of duty.

That's today's military. If you're a good office b**ch, you can move right up that ladder!

Your description of that combat hardened warrior is spot-on, but she is not Hill AFB's Vice Commander. According to her bio she is the vice commander of the Air Logistics Center. Certainly not a combat organization, and speaking from long experience, one of the least efficient maintenance organizations in the military. I've seen them "upgrade" perfectly good aircraft into flying deathtraps.

She's in charge of "140,000 Air Force and DoD commodities to ensure the highest state of combat readiness" don'tcha know?

If I had known the AF had a commander of vice, I would have been a bus driver.

Brigadier General (S) Jan D. “Denny” Eakle is vice commander, Ogden Air Logistics Center

Notice how "Denny" is wearing jump wings? Why is it I suspect the jump school she went through had different standards than the one I went through in 1964? We started with 425 students (ALL male),and graduated 187 3 weeks later.

In all fairness to BGEN Eakle she is a logistics officer, has always been a logistics officer, and is Vice-Commander of a Logistics Center. What in her background do you think makes her unqualified for that post?
