  • New DCOS Sp is Maj Gen Sean Clancy (former GOC AC)

    Comment


    • Not that long GoCAC unless I'm mistaken. Good to see it though. Keep the honkeys guessing.
      For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

      • Assuming planned dates, whens DCOS OPS and COS up next ?
        "Are they trying to shoot down the other drone? "

        "No, they're trying to fly the tank"

          Of the 4 candidates, there was only 1 real candidate. Same goes for the next gig in August - DCOS Ops.

          The next COS will be in blue

            Is it becoming a rotational role ?

              No. All of the generals are retiring at pretty much the same time. New GOCs 1 Bde, 2 Bde, DFTC and now AC, 2 X DCOS, ACOS and new COS all within 18 months so it is pretty easy to work out who will be the DCOS' and thus the COS. There is only 1 clear cndidate and he is leagues ahead

              • Can’t you (technical) skip Maj Gen and go from Brig Gen to Lt Gen?

                • Didnt DE skip IIRC ?

                  • You can but none of them will.

                    There is a matter under consideration at the moment to reduce the minimum service at the rank of Col to zero days. That would mean you could go from Lt Col to Maj Gen in a day. Massive strategic jump and they would surely suffer like the last person to jump a rank did, quickly found he was out of his depth, retires on age grounds in a few weeks

                      No, he was a Brig Gen for a very short period of time. Cannot remember in what capacity he was a Brig Gen, possibly ACOS as people would remember of he was a GOC, even for a short while

                      • As far as I remember from looking at the paperwork. He was gazetted as DCOS as a Brig Gen then promoted to Maj Gen after the appropriate minimum time.

                        • Sean Clancy is a nice guy and he looks well in uniform and I haven't heard a bad word (the opposite in fact) said about him.
                          However, 1 overseas trip...

                          if a Cpl was vying for a Sgts spot the question would be asked have you being overseas as a Cpl ,

                          and a Sgt going for CS- the question etc etc,

                          There are plenty of qualified nice guy officers who have multiple overseas trips
                          Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
                          Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
                          The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
                          The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
                          The best lack all conviction, while the worst
                          Are full of passionate intensity.

                                I suppose the last reorg reduced the pool of eligible Brig Generals interested in going for this role. Anyone know where Col McKenna came from?
