    Um. Is this a very weird coincidence, an error, or something weird about him leaving the position and then getting nominated to do so again?pic.twitter.com/CXPUMKbeNB

        Looks like it's a version of the third option. He was confirmed on Nov. 16, 2017, for a position the White House announced on Sept. 25, 2017 (he's the second one).pic.twitter.com/ruVACuztJh

        Chris Geidner Retweeted John Doe

        And, per this anonymous Twitter user, he's now nominated to a new position due to changes in the new NDAA (which @smmarotta found further information about):https://twitter.com/steadysentinel/status/1029859247306297346 …

        John Doe @jocularjaegar
        Replying to @chrisgeidner
        The new NDAA changed the position's title, I believe. And as he was an Assistant Secretary of Defense for X before and is now nominated to be an ASD for Y now, he resigned from the previous ASD post (the nomination doesn't distinguish which ASD he's been nominated to).

        Google suggests this is right. His old office got merged into a new one, and he is being nominated for the new one. https://www.defensecommunities.org/blog/congress-dod/around-town-one-time-base-support-group-ceo-nominated-for-pentagon-sustainment-post-vice-presidents-wife-hosts-military-spouses-group/ …
