Congratulations Lt Gen Rives!

The Air Force has announced the appointment of Major General Jack Rives to the grade of Lieutenant General, effective July 23, 2008. Lt Gen Rives is the Air Force's Judge Advocate General, and is, in my opinion, the right guy, in the right place, at the right time. He's a legal scholar with an excellent mind; but most importantly, he's a leader. And leadership is something the Air Force, and in particular the AF JAG Corps, certainly needs.
