U.S. Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson said in a letter to President Trump that she plans to resign from her post effective in late May.
Wilson has been named as the sole finalist to be the next president of the University of Texas at El Paso, a position that the system's regents will vote on after a state-required waiting period of 21 days. She said she will resign after getting the job.
"It has been a privilege to serve alongside our Airmen over the past two years and I am proud of the progress that we have made restoring our nation's defense," she wrote. "We have improved the readiness of the force; we have cut years out of acquisition schedules and gotten better prices through competition; we have repealed hundreds of superfluous regulations; and we have strengthened our ability to deter and dominate in space."

Sorry to lose her but maybe she will be back in another cabinet position later on.

Sorry to see her move on, but that is the way of life... She now has an opportunity to become the next President of the University of Texas at El Paso... That is probably a position that she has wanted for a long time as part of her career goals... I, personally, wish her nothing but greatness in her career ahead and thank her for her service to our Country and to our USAF...
