In the first paragraph of Senior Staff and Command section, someone needs to fill in what regiment. It can't just be "the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Div". at 04:13, April 19, 2006

Thanks for pointing out the omission. It was 3/9. I've added it to the paragraph. —ERcheck @ 04:27, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What happened?

The first paragraph is all mixed up!Steven 19:47, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jones' supposed "seniority" to Hagee

"General Jones is one of two serving Marine Corps four-star general officers who outrank the current Commandant of the Marine Corps (General Michael Hagee) in terms of seniority and time-in-grade - the other being Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Peter Pace."

How so? General Michael Hagee commissioned two years earlier than Jones. If someone cannot confirm this I will remove it. By the way, General Pace was commissioned from USNA the year before Hagee graduated. --ProdigySportsman 04:22, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

72.75.104.231 vandalized the page. According to his official biography, General Jones actually received his commission in 1967, the year before Hagee. Morinao 20:32, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information needs to be update

General Jones (retired) has retired

The Marine Corps has only recently begun to take on a larger share of high-level assignments in the Department of Defense. General Jones is one of five serving Marine Corps four-star general officers who outrank the current Commandant of the Marine Corps (General James T. Conway) in terms of seniority and time-in-grade — the others being Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Peter Pace; former Commandant (awaiting retirement) Michael Hagee, Commander of U.S. Strategic Command James E. Cartwright, and Assistant Commandant Robert Magnus. [2]

General Jones is reported to have declined an opportunity to succeed General John P. Abizaid as Commander of U.S. Central Command, and is currently scheduled to step down on December 4, 2006 and retire from the U.S. Marine Corps shortly thereafter. [1]

He also was asked twice by Condoleezza Rice to be Deputy Secretary of State after the resignation of Robert Zoelick. He declined.1 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dreday13 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 24 April 2007 (UTC).
