Former White House Chief of Staff Is Now a Navy Ensign

It?s official: Reince Priebus, former Republican National Committee chairman and then chief of staff for President Donald Trump, is a commissioned officer in the Navy.

Priebus swore into the Navy on Monday morning in a ceremony presided over by Vice President Mike Pence and attended by a cadre of Wisconsin lawmakers. Priebus is a native of Kenosha, Wisconsin.

News of the unconventional career pivot was first reported last year by The Washington Post. Priebus, now 47, was selected for a competitive direct-commission position as a Navy human resource officer, the outlet reported. Priebus required an age waiver to take the job, as the upper age limit for officers without a waiver is 42.

The Navy offers direct commissions that bypass conventional entry-level training in a number of skilled, high-demand job fields, including public affairs, aerospace engineering and information warfare, among others. While some of these positions allow individuals to enter the Navy at a more senior rank, Priebus will begin his career as an ensign, the lowest officer paygrade.

A Navy Reserve Force spokesman, Cmdr. Douglas Gabos, told Military.com that Priebus will be attached to Navy Operational Support Center in Washington, D.C.

"He has yet to receive an official assignment," Gabos said. "In the near future he will attend Officer Development School (ODS) in Newport, Rhode Island where where all newly commissioned Navy Reserve Officers receive an introduction to military structure, the history of Navy traditions and customs, the military legal system, military etiquette and more.?

Since Priebus resigned as White House chief of staff in July 2017, he has become president and chief strategist at the Michael Best & Friedrich LLP law firm in Washington, D.C. He has also joined a speaker's bureau.

Priebus was congratulated via Twitter by another direct-commissioned Navy Reserve officer who served in the White House: Sean Spicer, former White House press secretary. Spicer continued to serve as a Reserve public affairs officer for the Navy throughout his brief White House tenure.

Asked via Twitter whether he could now give Priebus orders, Spicer, a Navy Reserve commander, responded, "Not orders but I get a salute :)."

The Washington Post reported that Priebus, who was reportedly among just four individuals selected from among more than 40 candidates, was moved to serve in the Navy in part after meeting the surviving family members of Chief Petty Officer William "Ryan" Owens. Owens, a SEAL, was killed during a raid in Yemen in January 2017.

"It was an honor and privilege to attend @Reince's naval commissioning ceremony this morning," Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisconsin, tweeted. "Congratulations and thank you for your service Ensign Priebus!!!"

?My Credo Of Life? by Pat A. Fleming

Let me live within the moment.
Let me feel all that I can.
Let me cherish life for all it's worth,
With everything I am.

Let me see what's right in front of me,
With vision crystal clear.
And face what's waiting there for me,
With no hesitance or fear.

May I wake each day with gratitude,
For all my life may be.
And always feel that wonderment
At the world surrounding me.

May I welcome any strangers
With an open heart and mind.
And always stand for what is right
With all the strength that I can find.

Let me forgive myself for my mistakes,
While forgiving others theirs.
And never grow indifferent
But always strive to care.

Let me not forget what matters
In the scheme of every day,
To live each precious moment
In a kind and loving way.

For this moment now is everything,
Nothing matters but today.
So I'll willingly embrace it
And not let it slip away.

For it passes all so quickly,
And one chance is all we get.
And a life of wasted moments
Is a life filled with regrets.

Of the 57,939 names on the Vietnam Memorial Wall, how many do you believe belong to gay soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines?
