Interesting job moves: From NSA's 'tailored access' office to PACOM intel

I
always read the Pentagon's flag officer announcements, mainly to see if someone
I know has gotten an interesting job. (It is nice to see people I knew as
majors are now making three and four stars. Unfortunately, it also reminds me
that people who joined the military when I started covering the Pentagon are
retiring.)

In
this case, I don't know Rear Adm. Metts, but I sure found the move of this
information warfare specialist interesting. Maybe the U.S. government is going
to respond more actively to the stream of Chinese intrusions into American government and
business computers:

Rear Adm. (lower
half) Willie L. Metts will be assigned as director for intelligence, J2, U.S.
Pacific Command, Camp H.M. Smith, Hawaii.  Metts is currently serving as
deputy chief, tailored access operations, , National Security Agency, Fort Mead, Md. 

And yes,
that is the way the press release spelled Fort Meade.
