Sean Spicer reports to Pentagon for Navy Reserve duty
Fox News, Apr 14, 2017, Serafin Gómez   
 
White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer reported, in uniform, to the Pentagon Friday to fulfill his U.S. Navy Reserve duty, a White House official told Fox News.

Spicer reported to fulfill his duty at the Joint Chiefs of Staff offices, a White House official told Fox News. The well-known spokesman holds the rank of commander -- which sits just under the higher rank of captain in the Navy.

Spicer, who joined the Navy Reserve nearly 20 years ago while maintaining his primary work as a Republican media operative and strategist, also possesses a master's degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College.

According to the Military Times, Spicer has previously worked as a “media planner in joint exercises in Guam, Germany and Sweden, along with overseeing media coverage of Navy operations in at McMurdo Station in Antarctica.”

That's one way of keeping him away from the press briefings for a while.

The next White House Press Secretary is a Navy officer
Military Times, Dec 22, 2016

The next White House press secretary will be a Navy commander with 17 years experience in the reserves, President-elect Donald Trump announced Thursday.

Sean Spicer, currently the Republican Party communications chief, was named the chief spokesman for Trump’s administration as part of a series of appointments to the incoming commander-in-chief’s communications team.

His military career as a public affairs officer includes a master's degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College, and he is currently assigned to the Joint Staff’s naval reserve contingent in Washington, D.C.
