Seek Dr Rixey's Job Eligible for Reappointment
Navy medical corps officers press to name a successor as Surgeon General Dr Presley M Rixey nears end of his nearly eight year term. Candidates include medical inspectors with commander rank and surgeons with lieutenant commander rank. Ataft era retirement rules limit other captains from serving long enough to replace him.

A separate panel will select a site in the Philippines for a reserve magazine, and contracts for naval vessels are noted with orders for the Presto and other yard activities.
