Admiral Mullen retired today, too. (click title to entry - thank you)

After the networks stopped covering it I watched the entire ceremony on C-Span.  It was a really affair.  They even 'whistled he and his wife ashore' as they were the first to leave the grounds.


Very nice.  He will be missed.  In his place is the Army's General Martin Dempsey.  He seems nice, but, is different than Mullen.  I think his hat is too big.  He's shorter.  He could nearly reach the microphones.  He seems like a real character actually.  He brings a lot of boisterous friends with him when he speaks.


Oh, yeah, Admiral Mullen mentioned the Alwaki killing in his good bye speech.
