Meet Your Next Chief of Staff of the Air Force: Gen. Charles Q. Brown - Air Force Magazine

"The coming nomination was widely, but unofficially, discussed last week during AFA’s Air Warfare Symposium in Orlando, Fla. Several senior leaders referred to it as “the worst-kept secret in the Air Force.” Sources reported that the other leading candidate for the job was Gen. Jeffrey Harrigian, commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa.
Brown graduated from Texas Tech University in 1984 with a degree in Civil Engineering, and was commissioned as a Distinguished Graduate of the ROTC program in 1985. Since earning his wings in 1986, he has spent the majority of his career around F-16s, commanding a flight, fighter squadron, and two fighter wings: the 8th Fighter Wing at Kunsan Air Base, South Korea, and the 31st Fighter Wing at Aviano, Italy."
