Ladies and Gentlemen,
The Minister of National Defence has announced the senior promotions and appointments list for 2009. Included in this announcement is the promotion of the Commandant of the Royal Military College of Canada, Brigadier-General T.J. Lawson, to Major-General and his appointment to the position of Assistant Chief of the Air Staff at NDHQ, Ottawa. Navy Captain W.S. Truelove will be promoted to Commodore and appointed to replace Brigadier-General Lawson.
Can I get a "hell yeah"?
It's about time we get a Navy Commandant, here! Next, a Navy CDS?
More importantly, congratulations to General Lawson!
...As far as the mess dinner goes, I'll post something about it this week.
