The judge advocate general of the Navy and the deputy judge advocate general of the Navy are appointed positions. They are both nominated by the U.S. president and must be confirmed via majority vote by the U.S. Senate. They are appointed to a four-year term of office but they usually serve for three.
Sometimes you get the promotion, and don't realize the level of work shift you just volunteered for - for ~$10k a year. The extra work isn't worth the extra money (and taxes) you are paying.
It takes many years to organize your day, so that performing a leadership role, looks easy. It's not.
It all depends how long he served as a 3-star admiral. There's a minimum amount of time they must serve at the higher rank in order to "retire" at the higher rank. That's done, I believe, partly to keep them in. They don't want to promote someone to a higher rank just to have them "retire" the next day or in this case within 3 months. So his retirement pay will be less than if he'd served the minimum amount of time at the higher rank.
Sure, it could be that, but in the absence of evidence that he's a black hat, let's not jump to denigrating his service. Life happens sometimes. Maybe a loved one got a bad health diagnosis or something similar.
Who appoints this position?

Navy JAG Corps Hosts Change of Office

If one can’t follow their leader, it is best to resign.
Likewise to you, friend.
Did they have battalions of lawyers do a march past for the ceremony? 😅
Also, how do military lawyers get so many medals? 🤪

Why does he want a lower rank? It's not like that will change anything that will happen.

But you still get to retire at the higher rank, even if you do so the day after promotion. Only the pay is affected, as you described.
Which makes the "retiring at a lower rank" thing seem super odd.
maybe lower rank of pay and the reporter perhaps got it wrong. IDK.
OK that sounds right - I'm a little rusty on my military protocol (I retried an 0-5 in 96!)
I don't follow.
Simply put, he'd need to work a certain amount of time before hie would be eligible for the full pension at the higher rank.
So he wants to be re-lowered so he can get his pension? That's understandable.
Not sure how this is newsworthy, though. Is there some corruption I'm missing?
I look at it as notable. It is an Atypical thing, at this level certainly, I'd think.
He also was previously legal counsel to the Chairman of the Joint Chief 🤔
Any chance it might be personal in nature? Medical illness? Family issues?
Somebody told him to clear out amd make room for trumps guy. He is still a lawyer son maybe the traitors need him for their defense.
Does he have a reputation for being corrupt or part of the deep state?
His name has been coming up often in the Realrawnews posts lately.
Yes, I read that shit and no, I can't verify it.

Real Raw News is not a credible source btw.
Maybe, but people say that about Q as well.

They put up a story that Rochelle Walensky was hanged. That same day she was testifying in congress.
Q uses the Socratic method therefore you do your own research. I would't necessarily describe Q as delivering news.
It's ok. I fell for the RRN bullshit too early on.
This was my first thought as well.
That pence trial better be worth it.
