Trump's second Army secretary pick drops out of running just a week after 1st one bows out

http://thehill.com/policy/defense/318891-trumps-second-pick-for-army-secretary-drops-out-of-the-running-report#

A potential pick to be President Trump's Army secretary has dropped out of consideration for the position, Politico reported Friday.

Van Hipp, a lobbyist and former chairman of the South Carolina Republican Party, said “personal and professional commitments” would not allow him to take the job. He did not elaborate on the nature of the those commitments.

“I support President Trump and his leadership 100 percent, but unfortunately the timing would not be right for my family and me due to personal and professional commitments,” Hipp told Politico.


.......I'm guessing, there aint many wanting to join that shitshow.
