*=Gone
but not forgotten
Jimmy approved Air Force One landing at Fort Connor and the Generals hurried to greet POTUS as he landed. Full military honors were rendered for our Commander and Chief and from our hearts considering we all claimed him as a good friend.
We adjourned to our Conference Room and it was locked down to security mode. POTUS comment this wasn't an act of treason but an understand of the future reality of our Military. Every poll taken in the last month shows our party losing in a landslide event at the election in a few months. What the public can't or won't comprehend is where the money will come from to fund all the social programs in our opponent's "planks". The best mind are in concurrent belief it will take two terms for the public to comprehend how much our military has been weakened and the advantage the other major powers will take because of our weakened military state.
In actuality, our military will be in its worse shape since the isolationist movement after World War One. We paid a hefty price then both in money and in lives. I pray this isn't a repeat performance. Churchill said it best: "Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it". The senior staff gathered at this table have given their lives to our great country and have made Alpha Zulu the premier organization with a world reputation. You deserve better than what I can provide for you in recognition of your effort.
This morning I signed an Executive Order exempting Fort Connor from consideration in any base closure plan. I also guaranteed Fort Connor continue at its current level of manpower and that the Alpha Zulu program continue cooperatively with Worthington Industries. My Executive Order doesn't have the power of "law" but political parties are reluctant to modify or cancel the Executive Orders of previous Presidents as if and when they do they can expect it to happen to them when their party looses control of the White House.
The Commanding Generals and Base Commander have a life contract with the Army. The most any new President can do is retire you and I doubt if they want the negative Press considering your polling with the American Public is higher than any of us political entities.
My friend and Chaplain of Fort Connor... I didn't mention you in the above group because you will be leaving Fort Connor. I had an impromptu meeting with the Vatican Ambassador yesterday and you have been requested by the Pope to report to the Vatican. The Pope has decided to elevate you to a member of the Curia. May I be the first to congratulate the newest Cardinal of the Catholic Church.
And, now to the last of the announcements and shocking revelations of this trip... Doc... You have accepted an invitation from John Hopkins School of Medicine to lecture in a few weeks. Sometime during your visit, you will attend a reception given to you by their Board of Director with their Administrators in attendance. You will be offered the position of "Chief of Staff" of their Emergency Medicine Program.
General Date is in the process of transferring both the Chaplain and Doc to the Army Reserves so you won't lose any tenure or perks that come with your stars. I sincerely hope you will accept these offers as the "bullseye" you have on your backs isn't immune to a Presidential Directive.
The men gathered here have given their lives and careers to benefit the citizens of our great nation. You deserve much more than what I can provide in recognition of your years of dedication and service.
The room was in complete silence at the revelations just unfolded by POTUS. We all respected him as our "Boss" but we never realized how much he valued us as individuals. We had been truly blessed.
Reality finally sunk in with the Generals and Jimmy... they would have to replace two of the key members of their leadership team. A new Chaplain and Doc wouldn't be easy to replace and both would have huge shoes to fill. Definitely something we would need to discuss privately after POTUS had returned to Washington.
POTUS stopped by after his meal and talked freely with the Mess staff. He told them what he would miss most after ending his eight years in the White House was enjoying the great meals served here at Fort Connor. Every General of every base I visit tries to outdo the others... but no mess in the military serves a better meal that you do here at Fort Connor. As President of the United States I am awarding every member of the Mess staff at Fort Connor the Army Achievement Medal. General Date is processing the paperwork as we speak and you should be receiving official notice shortly.
As we walked POTUS back to Air Force One every soldier we met snapped to attention and saluted out of both pride and respect we have for this great leader of our country. With his actions today every man on base knows how much he truly appreciates all Alpha Zulu does for our country.
The Fort Connor Grapevine went into overdrive regarding the news of our Chaplain being elevated to the rank of a Cardinal of the Catholic Church. As he exited his quarters the next day to leave for the Vatican the path from his billet to his plane was lined with the men of Alpha Zulu saluting this man of God they truly loved and respected. This was not done by any military directive, it was a spontaneous action on the part of the men to show the Chaplain he was and always will be a part of Alpha Zulu.
As the Chaplain was boarding his plane to leave Fort Connor he saluted me and discretely handed me a letter which obviously had been prepared in case he also died while serving the soldiers of Alpha Zulu. I decided to open in after I had consumed a double "Nectar of the Gods" with my Senior team present.
Like his predecessor he was well aware of the risks he takes serving with the men of Alpha Zulu. He has never regretted a day serving with the men and leaders of this fantastic organization. If the time comes when you must replace me I hope you will give consideration to a young chaplain I do believe will provide the men with the spiritual guidance and moral leadership needed in their lives. I recommend this young man with full confidence of his ability to meet the goals and objectives of Fort Connor and Alpha Zulu.
I turned to my "partner in crime" and told him to grab his "go bag" after breakfast as we had a trip to make and a base General's life to ruin tomorrow morning.
Landing at the base midmorning we were somewhat warmly greeted by the Base General. Asked the nature of our visit we advised him we were here to discuss a matter of urgency with his Chaplain. The Base General just shook his head in disbelief and told us the guy was a royal pain in his ass. He actually burst into my office and called me the "spawn of the devil" in front of my Senior Staff because I ordered men to remove their religious medals when in uniform. He went so far as to have the Chief of Chaplains chew on my ass to the point I rescinded the order. It just wasn't worth the fight. Don't say you weren't warned.
Assigning us a car and driver we got the scenic trip around base and ending at the base Chapel. Knocking at the door of the Chaplain's office he was in shock to see two six star Generals requesting admittance. When asked how he could be of service he was in shock our Chaplain even knew of him. They had only met once at a seminar.
We advised our new friend we had implicit trust in our Chaplain and apparently so does the Pope to elevate him to become a member of the curia. When he returns from Rome he will be a Cardinal of the Catholic Church as well as a four star General of the United States Army. Yes, you will have huge shoes to fill but he believes you are the man and we have implicit faith in his judgement.
Just say YES and we will have the transfer orders cut and I doubt if your Base General will hesitate to approve the transfer. Just, please... if you have a problem with anything we do just talk with us before you call in the big guns. We really are nice guys to work for and you'll find our Senior Staff to be a true team.
We have one last question to ask you before we hit "send" and start this process. Fort Connor is a base of 200+ gay soldiers. Do you have any problem working with gay soldiers? And, FYI... there has never been a case of sexual assault in the history of Fort Connor and that is a claim no other military base can make. Our new Chaplain only smiled and commented that makes telling you I am also gay so much easier.
We endured the "rubber chicken dinner" with the base officers and then spend the balance of our visit meeting with the soldiers in the base hospital. We were all shocked to see the Chaplain with his "go bag" in hand waiting for us at our jet. "The Base General had his security team escort me stating my transfer had been approved and he hoped I enjoyed my new posting." (A first for us, a Base General that didn't want our heads on a spike for stealing one of his officers.)
During our flight, the Chaplain was warmly greeted by our security detail and we had time to get to know the man. We advised him we normally offer a new addition to Alpha Zulu a six month probation. If you at any time feel we aren't a good match just let us know the posting you desire and we will try to make it happen. We have never had anyone take us up on that offer so I hope you'll find Fort Connor to be your home for the balance of your military career. (Wait for the shock when he finds out he is promoted to a four star General after his probation is over.)
During the flight I brought up David and Date on the com and asked if our new Chaplain could borrow a room for the week as he had his paperwork to complete and get his new uniforms. Our new Chaplain nearly went into "meltdown" when he learned he would be staying with the Secretary of Defense. We assured him David and Date were two great men and you'll be next door to T&T Worthington, don't miss the opportunity to meet two more great men.
Executive Services security transported our new Chaplain to David's Penthouse and we then continued onto Fort Connor. The mess staff saved us our evening meal and it seemed so weird enjoying this great food in an empty mess hall. Yes, the men of Alpha Zulu spoiled us and we so appreciated everything they do. Other than the trauma of getting our stars because of the death of two great men we have never regretted becoming a part of Alpha Zulu.
When our new Chaplain finally arrived at the end of the week we met him as he deplaned, had his security verified and we then invited him to join us for a tour of Fort Connor. Every man warmly greeted him. As we approached one work detail one of the men snapped to attention and saluted as the Chaplain wrapped his arms around him and gave him one of the longest French kisses I have ever seen in my life. Finally, the men of his work detail started chanting "GET A ROOM..." and the men separated. (I thought we were going to have to throw a bucket of cold water on the two of them!)
As our tour continued, we asked the Chaplain if he wanted to explain what had just happened. Please accept my apology Generals... that man was my lover all four years of college and we both were devastated when I answered the calling of God and entered divinity school. With him making the Army a career the chances of us ever being posted to the same base wasn't even considered possible. And, now to be at a gay friendly base... I hope he'll still want to be part of my life. I guess we have a lot of talking to do and figure out if we still have feelings for each other. I know there is plenty of LUST left in our future I just hope the LOVE is able to be rekindled.
Never one to turn down helping Cupid we advised the Chaplain he would be assigned an aide and if his "buddy" wanted the job we could arrange for them to be billeted together in a private room. (You could smell the stench of cum that was coating his boxers at the thought!) YUP, the Chaplain is still carrying the torch for this man. Love is still alive at Fort Connor.
The Chaplain spent the evening in our Meditation Garden talking with his old "friend" and former lover. If the Generals were serious, he would love to work as the Chaplain's aide and if his former partner was offering him to live together AGAIN he was accepting before the Chaplain changed his mind.
After our morning staff meeting the Chaplain asked Jimmy if he had a moment to talk. Jimmy was aware (as was most of the camp by now) of the offer made by our Commanding Generals. The Chaplain was requesting his friend and lover be appointed as his aide and billeted in his quarters. Jimmy smiled and only commented the same restriction applies to the two of you as do to your Assistant Chaplain and his partner. No sex in the sanctuary. The Chaplain was in shock when he returned to his billet prior to their noon meal to find that maintenance had already moved his "friends" belongings in their quarters.
The Chaplain spent most of the afternoon meeting the men, getting to know the squad leaders and first sergeant. Of course, Doc had to tell him his shot record needed to be updated and at least he had a valid reason to ask his buddy to massage his ass that evening. What can I say, the Chaplain didn't get much sleep that night and both he and his lover reported to Medical prior to flag raising. Doc only smiled and commented: "Yes, God does work in mysterious ways"!
Now that the two lovers had a 14 day posting to sexual purgatory they could put their minds into work mode and start learning all the nuances of Fort Connor. The Chaplain was astonished at the beautiful Chapel that had been built, the stain glass windows, the bell tower, the digital organ, just the quality of the furnishings. The Solid Gold altar set given by the Pope outshined anything he had ever seen and the Saint George Chapel and dedication to our 1st Chaplain truly showed the love everyone had for this great man. Yes, he did have big shoes to fill and he would invest his life to live up to the expectations. Our new Chaplain had no doubt God had brought him here to fulfill his destiny.
His first Sunday church service was filled to "standing room only" and our Chaplain knew it had to be the sermon of his life. Unknown to him his sermon of "Service above Self" was the mantra of the majority of men of Alpha Zulu only brought him to a high level of esteem among the men. Of course, his partner holding him securely and kissing him passionately only confirmed his sermon had been the success he had desired. Skipping lunch both men walked to their billet. A few hours later there was a quiet knock at their door and the mess steward rolled in a lunch buffet compliment of the mess staff. You can't live on love alone.
The Chaplain was embarrassed to the max knowing every man at Fort Connor knew he was having sex with his lover. His old friend assured him if anything the men were jealous. "And you, my wonderful naked lover are all mine till we have to show up for retreat." "Your ass may have a 14 day restriction but I do remember how talented a mouth you have."
It was a few weeks before the 1st Sergeant informed the two lovers their billet wasn't soundproof. Every man on base could hear every screaming orgasm you two shared. You have indirectly caused a number of over zealous sexual injuries among the men. Doc was getting tired of treating the effect so he asked to have the cause curtailed. So, guys... take it easier and be more constrained making love. We don't expect you two to be MONKS but have consideration for the rest of us single guys.
The 1st Sergeant handed the couple a package compliments of the men of Alpha Zulu. Consider it a "Welcome Gift". Opening the package, the two men turned multiple shades of red to find a "His & His" "ball gag". A very embarrassed Chaplain went to each table and thanked the men for being so kind and considerate toward an errant Chaplain.
Returning to his table with the Generals still present he turned to Doc and only commented: "Next time, simply tell me yourself, PLEASE!" "May God bless you and reward you according to your merit!" "Now, if everyone will excuse me, I am in need of some intense Stress Management."
POTUS was rolling on the floor in laughter when the Generals told him how their new Chaplain was being so warmly accepted by the men of Alpha Zulu. How POTUS wished he would be around when the new chaplain is informed the job comes with the rank of a Four Star General.
It was a few weeks before Doc would be required to face the decision on whether to accept the offer from John Hopkins. (He'd be DUMB to turn it down, offers like this only happen once in a lifetime and staying in the reserves means he can still work with Alpha Zulu on his "time off".
As Doc accepted the offer with the provision it wouldn't be effective until January 2nd. He wanted to spend the holidays with his "family" at Fort Connor. That left us a few months to find a replacement. Colonel Masters shyly broached the subject at a daily staff meeting and commented if no one had any suggestions he had a doctor that could do the job. This trauma surgeon had saved his life (his second silver star) when he received multiple IDE fragments requiring emergency surgery. After 10 hours of surgery the medical staff finally felt I would survive my injuries. I could never thank the doctor enough for what he did for me. Asking to have Doc bring up his personnel file on the monitor we all asked Doc what he felt about his competence. "He is a top notch surgeon, not a negative comment in his file, high ratings from hospital and base administrators and his patients want to nominate him for "GOD"!
Right now he is attending a trauma symposium at the Mayo Clinic so I suggest you two Generals and Colonel Masters take a fast trip to Rochester and convince him to join our team. The Mess staff had made an early lunch for the three of us and we were told to get in our plane and find us a great doctor. We may never find a doctor of equal caliber but this one is damn close. Jimmy and Hito said their goodbye as we boarded our jet with the comment if you don't come back with this doctor you may not want to come back.
It is difficult to be discrete slipping into town when there is a string of state and local police escorting our military police and Alpha Zulu security. The head of the Mayo Clinic warmly greeted us and asked how he could be of service. Directing us to the billet of our "victim-ala-carte we knocked quietly on his door and watched his jaw hit the ground when he saw two six star Generals requesting admittance.
Captain Masters, err... Colonel Masters I see we meet again only this time you aren't bleeding all over me and the operating room staff. How can I be of service. We explained our situation and offered him a six month probation as our Chief Medical Officer. The position is available immediately and that will allow you a few weeks to work with our existing Doc and learn all the nuances of Fort Connor. Colonel Masters added that Doc didn't have to worry about his sexual preference, Fort Connor is a base of 200+ male gay soldiers. Besides, he hoped Doc would allow him to provide for his extra curricular needs on a regular basis. (THAT SEALED THE DEAL!) (There is a story there to be shared after an ample amount of the "Nectar of the Gods" has been consumed.)
Advising our new Doc we would arrange transportation for him to Washington and billeted in the Worthington's penthouse while his security clearance was being processed and he was being fitted for his new uniforms. Knowing the future relationship between POTUS and whoever was selected to replace Doc would be tenuous if not down right hostile at times, we elected to let him experience the shock of Duke announcing a command performance at the White House while he was staying in the Worthington Penthouse. We'll just have the imps talk with POTUS and tell him not to scare our new Doc away, we want to keep him. The imps always melt the heart of the most stubborn POTUS... always have and always will.
After battlefield housing and porta-johns Doc was in culture shock with the luxury of the Worthington's Penthouse and the warm and friendly nature of the Worthingtons. (Wait till he gets invited down the hall and meets Date and David... then he will know truly what comprises Culture Shock!)
We had some serious discussion on what was the proper way to greet our old friend and now Cardinal Chaplain. Even the Department of State Protocol Office had no suggestion, this situation had never existed before. We all took our lead from our new Chaplain as he bowed, took the hand of his predecessor, kissed his ring in respect of God and the Church, the stood at attention and saluted the General of the Army. Whether right or wrong, the State Department Office of Protocol adopted it as the proper procedure.
The Cardinal would be billeted at the Vatican Embassy in Washington and his adjutant would juggle his schedule between the church demands and the requests of the military. I'm certain there were many nights when our old friend wished he was still the base Chaplain at Fort Connor. When he needed to get away, he knew he could always retreat to either Penthouse at the Marriott or to Camp Phoenix. If he really needed a get-a-way he could hit David up for a vacation at his Virgin Island Resort. The only price ever charged the Cardinal was the blessing of the meals. (Although, the Island Governor hit him up more than once for a "meet & greet" dinner party when she found out he was on the island.)
November elections finally arrived and as the polling projected the existing majority party was voted out of office. The White House and both houses of Congress now had a majority with a social concerns agenda and there was no doubt where the money would be come to fund the programs. We only hoped the military could survive the next eight years.
What surprised us was when our Six Star Generals applied for inactive status and stepped down as the Commanding Generals of Alpha Zulu. The current White House saw no need to replace them or the need for a military General as an Ambassador-at-Large. (Eight years would prove them to be so wrong!)
Unknown even to Jimmy and Hito, T&T offered both Generals to head a new super secret privately funded project that would keep them occupied well into the eight year election cycle. When it came to fruition, it would dominate the militaries of the world. This project would leave a legacy our Six Star Generals would be proud to pass on to the military and citizens of the United States.
Jimmy, with his five stars, was promoted to the Commanding General of Alpha Zulu and Colonel Masters after receiving his four stars was promoted to Base Commander of Fort Connor. Our new Chaplain and Doctor went into shock when after they completed their probation they were informed their posting came with the rank of a "Four Star General". (How the camp grapevine ever kept it from them I'll never know but occasionally miracles do happen even at Fort Connor.)
T&T flew into Fort Connor and requested a meeting with Jimmy and General Masters. Locking the conference room down to a secure mode T&T advised to keep everyones hands flat on the table and make no hostile move. "You will be dead before you could touch your gun."
Pressing the "Connor" button on his
smartphone a holographic "Connor" appeared in the conference room passing
straight through the wall of the secure structure. Jimmy now knew the
"Ghose of Fort Connor" was real and General Masters was in shock at the
revelation of this technology. The balance of the morning was spent
orientating these two officers to the operation and abilities of "Connor" and
the reputation of the "Ghost" happens when he is in auto mode and just doing
his normal rounds. Most of the men now accept their intense wet dreams as just
one of the benefits of working at Fort Connor but you may need to come up with
an explanation for our new doctor if he becomes inquisitive.
Very few people know of the existence of Connor so the fewer people who know the less chance you have of the Pentagon confiscating him and trying to reverse engineer him. And, the Flaming Angel which saved the Jewish nation of Israel was a 2nd generation Connor with the Angel effect for theatrics. Connor is meant to be a defensive weapon not an offensive weapon. That won't stop the Pentagon from trying to reverse engineer it.
You two now control the most powerful item in the United States Arsenal, even more powerful than our nuclear capabilities. Use it carefully and only when everything else fails. Your smartphones now have a "Connor" button and you only need to speak to it as you would any voice activated remote control.
Now, your price for this private tutorial is one of your fantastic Fort Connor meals and my nose tells me it is about time for lunch... THIS MEETING IS NOW ADJOURNED!
General Masters saw T&T off after lunch and then tried to do a few hours of paperwork but he was just too stressed. Heading up to Medical he ask Doc if he had time to just chat with him. Stating he was stressed to the max, he had the equivalent of the nuclear launch codes given to him this morning. He wasn't coping well.
Doc sat next to his good friend and said there were plenty of medication we could try to help relieve your stress but the best treatment to start with is just a few good orgasms. As Doc took John's hand and walked him into his bedroom, as the door closed their clothes exploded from their body. Hell, YES... they had a history and definitely a sex life that would satisfy any straight or gay couple. After Doc sucked off a couple of large loads of John's ball juice he then proceeded to fuck him to nirvana and back a few times. When they both finally collapsed from sexual exhaustion they held each other tightly and said one of these days we have to make us an honest couple and legally married. As they discussed how much time was needed to be an appropriate amount of time the camp grapevine was already alive with how much these two men were in love with one another.
The one invaluable tool was the diary that had been kept by the Medical Director since Alpha Zulu was formed. It was frank and detailed as to what any new Medical Director can expect especially from POTUS. It was something our new Medical Director would continue and even the Command Staff of Fort Connor wasn't able to access the information contained in it.
Jimmy made the Chaplain and Doc the same offer that had been made to their predecessors. Both men accepted and qualified with their small arms pistol and Uzi. Doc would defend his patients in HIS medical and the Chaplain would defend any and all imps against any intruder. By the end of two weeks of training both men were shooting EXPERT and I wouldn't want to be in the line of fire of either of them.
Our Six Star Generals were working longer hours and traveling more miles than when they were the Commanding Generals of Alpha Zulu and Ambassadors-at-Large for POTUS. There work was a labor of love and every now and then they would "skip town" and have a long weekend with David and Date in their Virgin Island getaway.
They couldn't talk about their current project even with David and Date. If they were curious they would need to ask T&T. As David was funding part of this special project it was unthinkable that he wasn't aware of what was being done but he never let on he had any information even to Date. (Oh, would his ass pay the price when Date found out he was holding out on his partner!)
The social reforms in the planks of the opposition party started out well meaning but as the strength of the military payed the price due to the lack of funding, Russia, China and many of the small non-aligned countries started to claim territory because they knew we no longer had the military to control a multi-faceted police action. We only hoped and prayed when the American public came to its senses and voted back in a party with a sense of fiscal responsibilities to all facets of American Government the military would bounce back without too severe loss of soldier's lives.
It was strange to get a phone call from our "out of office" friend POTUS... He was enjoying retirement and being a father and grandfather. David and Date invited him for a long weekend at their Virgin Island "get-a-way" advising him before he ever stepped foot on a plane David had no interest in running for President. After settling into the Penthouse guest room and then enjoying the sun, sand and surf David ordered up a seafood buffet served in their penthouse. After dinner and far too much "Nectar of the Gods" being served their old friend POTUS said he didn't want to be deceptive. The Power Brokers of Washington wanted a candidate that had a 100% chance of winning in the next national election. Money isn't a consideration, there will be more money available than ever before and with no strings attached.
David said emphatically he had no interest in running for President. Everyone present was shocked when POTUS said the party wants to run Date Masamune for the Office of President of the United States. We need to maintain a reasonable standard of social programs but we need a priority to rebuild our Military before we face a major international crisis. As much as David would make a fantastic President this time we need a man of the ability of Date Masamune to lead our country.
I need your permission to start an exploratory committee and then sit down and review the finding with you. You'll find the American Public wants a man of your abilities and so does our party. I doubt if you will even have any opposition for the party nomination. You have nothing to lose by allowing us to form an exploratory committee except for scaring the shit out of the opposition.
Asking POTUS to give us the night to sleep on it and we would give him an answer before he departed tomorrow. Breaking out the 100 year old brandy we consumed multiple "doubles" before we called it a night.
Laying in bed neither David or Date got much sleep. POTUS had dropped a real bomb shell on the two men. Date had never failed to rise to the need of his country but he wouldn't consider the offer without the man he loves at his side. David knew Date all too well, holding him, kissing him and cuddling with him... he told his life partner whatever he decided he would always be at his side.
At brunch the next morning Date asked POTUS to give him and David 48 hours to "warn" their family and make whatever adjustments necessary for their protection. Everyone was supportive of Date even the grandkids after finding out they would have armed guards at their bedroom door when they wanted to have a jerk off session.
The minute T&T heard the rumor of Date running for President they were on the video com to him stating the entire Worthington clan was behind him and whatever assistance he required was his for the asking whether it be corporate, financial or personal. Date Masamune would be the greatest President since JFK. Negative ads against Date would only increase the number of votes cast for his election. Even the negative ads regarding Date being gay and married to David only increased his percentage in the polls.
The election reflected the faith and trust the American People had in this American Samurai. Date received more electoral college votes than even Ronald Regan. This was history in the making and even as much as David and Date hated the thought of living in the "fishbowl" called The White House they both knew their decision was the right decision for our great nation.
They now had hopefully eight year to rebuild our country and our military. Failure was unacceptable. Selecting the right cabinet members would be crucial.
Even before being sworn in as President of the United States Date ask key people he trusted with his life to help him rebuild our great nation.
David Winter-Jansson, White House Chief of Staff
James "Jimmy" Yasumori, Secretary of Defense
Duke Strong, Secretary Department of Veterans Affairs
Date then requested the Pope to allow our Cardinal Chaplain to serve as the United States Secretary of State to promote world peace.
Date also requested the head of the John Hopkins School of Medicine to allow the Chief of Emergency Medical Services to serve as the Secretary of Health & Human Services.
Political appointments were made on merit and not on how much money they had donated to the election campaign.
Date had two extremely important appointments to make and that was the positions for the Six Star Commanding Generals of Alpha Zulu and Ambassador-at-Large for the President of the United States.
For these two position he asked the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs to send him the files on the two candidates they have selected if replacing the six star General(s) is deemed necessary.
A mistake filling these two positions could mean the end of Alpha Zulu, Fort Connor and all the work done these many years by dedicated individuals.
