Daily Caller: Former White House chief of staff Reince Priebus is officially in the U.S. Navy.
He was commissioned as an ensign, or entry-level officer, in a Monday ceremony officiated by Vice President Mike Pence. Since Priebus is a Wisconsin native, Republicans Sen. Ron Johnson and Rep. Bryan Steil attended. Sean Spicer, a Navy reserve officer who overlapped with Priebus in the White House while serving as press secretary, was also in attendance.

Priebus, 47, is expected to serve as a human resources officer, reported The Hill.
Priebus applied to join the Navy as a reserve officer months ago, The Washington Post reported in December 2018. The former Republican National Committee chair was motivated to join up after an Oval Office meeting with President Donald Trump and the family of a slain Navy SEAL William Owens. more
Isn’t 47 a little bit old to join the Navy as a Reserve Officer?
Building up his portfolio for a future run for office?
Ensign Parker just recently died. Is this his replacement?…
I guess it’s easier to Reince and Repeat if you’re close to water.
How is he only 47?
Ensign Rinse Penis…..now that has a sour ring to it.
I thought only sons of prominent democrats got direct commissions, you know, like Hunter Biden.
Joins Navy at 47 as an ensign.
Boy, that’s a step down from working in the White House.
They wouldn’t let me reenlist right after 9/11 (and I was prior service in a job they needed) and I wasn’t 47! I’ve heard of pulling strings to get OUT of military service, but never pulling them to get IN.
I had no idea they still had cabin boys in the navy…
“The cabin boy”
“The cabin boy”
“That dirty little nipper”
“Lined his ass with broken glass”
“and circumcised the skipper”….
The Cabin Boy that was not….

keel haul the RINO
I once met RAdm Grace Hopper, who was a guest lecturer for a USAFR course I attended.
She was almost 80 and still an active Navy reservist. She was one of the early DOD computer experts.
Look her up. She came up with the term “a bug in the system” when a moth was trapped in the computer (when a computer took up almost an entire building).

…so the Navy age-discriminates EXCEPT when it comes to politically connected RINOs?
…guessing there’s still a few Obama holdovers in high places…
…an HR Ensign, huh?
…I think a BETTER title for a 47 year old political hack is REMF…
Wow. I’m dumbfounded. Will he have to go on a training deployment for 6+ months where he’ll be screamed at by both superior officers and petty officers and given 4 consecutive hours of sleep at a time?

…Democrat, RINO,
tomato, tomatoe…
Did anyone else hear The Village People when they read that headline?
A lawyer – why not a JAG officer commission?
