PO1 Kevin Arnold - Trump wil never reduce your retired pay. And those that hated us did not get elected.

I did not vote for either one. I did a write in hoping he would change his mind in running.

PO1 Kevin Arnold - Retired pay will include both an annuity and a 401k like component...encouraging savings while on active duty. This approach, while not fully implemented, will form the basis of retired compensation going forward.

Sir, I'd like to see more actions taken for All Our Veterans Benefits, especially Retirees, which have continually decrease during each Congressional's Administration since I joined the Navy in January 1969!!! What is it going to take to reverse the continued practice of broken promises during our Enlistments!!!! We need a Voice in Washington! Just my Humble Opinion Sir! Doc Bradshaw

Greetings General,
Thank you for your joining with us! I remember serving under your leadership and guidance. Reading through your bio, I have noticed that your background is in transport and special operations aircraft as opposed to being a fighter pilot like the other CoS. I was wondering if that created difficulties for you in during your tenure?

I was a bit of an anomaly in our AF...but as in so many things, there is a time when certain competencies are needed. That is what I experienced in the unexpected transition from the TRANSCOM job to CSAF.

Another great idea COL Mikel J. Burroughs Gen Norton Schwartz Now that you can look back, what was the best of what happened, and the worst that happened while you were Chief of Staff?

Gen Norton Schwartz
The best was to see the AF recognized as "all-in" for the fight...whether that was RPA, intel, rescue or logistics. The saddest was the mishandling of remains at the Dover Port Mortuary.
