Would asking a VADM to be my officer in my re-enlistment cause a problem?

I’m pcsing to San Diego so I’m being put into re-enlisting to fulfill the 3 year orders which I’m cool with. It’s my first re-enlistment so I was asked to pick an officer to do it.
I figured SECO would be cool but I’m not a big fan of my current one so I have no else to pick but I have a VADM that lives at the base I work, and I’m curious if that would be a big problem asking him to do it. Appreciate any feedback about the subject, worst case scenario I’ll just pick an officer I see regularly in the mornings.
Thanks!

I was always honored to be asked to reenlist someone; as I got older and more grey, fewer folks asked me to officiate--it is likely the same with the VADM. Asking him may be difficult--you'll likely have to make an appointment via his staff.

Whatever you do go through the proper channels to make the request. Don’t just walk up to him in the chow line or something like that. That won’t go well. But with that said you miss every shot you don’t take

MSgt Steve Sweeney yeah, I’ve seen a few young bucks walk up to flag officers and make requests and it rarely goes well. Prior planning is key
