Today at work, I was doing a tour of a military base as my job works with these folks from time to time.
When I was walking down a hallway, I noticed the typical board stating "who's in charge here". It had several generals, leaders, and the usual chain of command. At the top of the chain, where you would normally see POTUS, there was simply a piece of white printer paper with the text saying "photo not yet chosen" and the rectangle where there would be a name, was blank.
Not a single printout, photo, name, or mention of Xiden anywhere. Made my day.
I was in the military when Bush started his terms. I was in the military when Obama started his terms. I was in the military for half a dozen Commandants. It’s true it takes some time for them to update the photos. It’s a nice photograph, not some printout of a photo. I would say 3-4 weeks I pretty normal. I don’t know why it’s taking so long but 3+ months is something very different.
