Can't believe despite everything Slife did and the horrific reputation he earned, it was only his ties to DEI that got him relieved.

If I'm reading his bio right, he's ANG.  Would that make a first as CJCS?

Don’t know about first, nor how ANG status works at the GO level (he’s served multiple GO positions normally held by AD folks), but Razin is definitely a guard bro.  And without question a warfighter. He’s also recently retired. So don’t know if it’s a “on terminal… psych!” or a true recall to active duty. That might be a first to be CJCS.

This is how it was explained by someone with a better grasp on O retirements in the ANG: "What happens is that he can still serve while in this continuation of service status [as the CJCS], and then when he's done, he's done. He does not 'retire' again. They just pick the date when his service will end, and on that date there will be an immediate separation from service."

pretty cool they pulled from the ANG...a very clear signal to every flag officer on AD...
