I think that the admiral deserves better than simply a list of job titles. I know, I know...that's how the Navy writes a "bio." That doesn't mean that it isn't a completely lame approach toward both the effort of biography and the characterization of a man's service.
I suggest that the admiral's flag writer (or similar) get on the stick and make this read like the admiral has actually accomplished something in his naval career besides having his name engraved in a series of ever-larger melamine plastic nameplates. As it happens, I know Jeff Fowler, and he is neither lame nor unaccomplished...but I leave the details here to others.

Thank you Rem01 for deleting my (portdeltona) entire contribution. My material was unsourced, which is contrary to this site’s policy. I do see from this discussion that you’re vigilantly guarding the VADM. Where would History be without those who keep our leaders looking good, regardless?
