<p>The law being referred to was changed after ADM Larson was reassigned to the Naval Academy as Superintendent. Larson had been scheduled to retire, but was selected by the CNO to address some serious scandals and other issues within the Brigade. Larson was tapped to fill a billet that had previously only been filled by Rear Admirals. A recommendation was made to upgrade the Superintendent’s billet to Vice Admiral and to make it a twilight tour to enable the Supe to make decisions without worrying how those decisions would impact his career.</p>

<p>This is not true. Prior to ADM Larson’s second tour as Supe, there were follow on tours. For example, RAMD McKee moved on, received promotions, and later became a successor to ADM Rickover’s billet as NAVSEA 08. RAMD Lawrence moved on to become Chief of Naval Personnel and later Commander of NAVAIR.</p>
