| Carter Selects Fanning as First Openly Gay Pentagon Chief of Staff |
| 2015-02-22 |
| [MILITARY] New Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has chosen former acting Air Force Secretary Eric Fanning to become his chief of staff and the first openly gay man to hold the post. Ohfergawdsake. Fanning, currently the Air Force undersecretary, was a key member of the transition team along with Army Maj. Gen. Ron Davis that guided Carter through his Senate confirmation hearings to replace outgoing Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.  Congratulations Herr Fanning, it's a wonderful party.As chief of staff, Fanning will have major sway over Carter's schedule and access to his office. Davis was expected to become military adviser to Carter. |
