TIME TO MOVE ON

As President Bush retires, so does Col. Mark Tillman...Commander of PAG - the Presidential Airlift Group, part of the 89th Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base.

After flying Mr. Bush to every state in the country but Vermont, and on 49 foreign trips to 75 countries, many of them more than once, Tillman will be ending his 30-year career in the Air Force.

Bush nominated him for promotion to brigadier general, but the Senate Armed Services Committee never took action on it.

I wonder if such "never took action on it" is routine or if this was special treatment reserved for the former President.
