As Chairman, Mullen was the highest-ranking officer in the U.S. Armed Forces and served as the principal military advisor to the President of the United States. Prior to that Admiral Mullen was the U.S. Navy’s 28th Chief of Naval Operations beginning in July 2005.

He retired from the Navy after more than 43 years of service.

Wonder if he still gets the job if the Softbank deal falls apart?  Seems kind of weird they would put a title out like that days before the Softbank vote.  Hopefully there is some forward reading in that story title...

I'm sure most of Sprint management isn't worried about the future if the softbank deal falls apart. They will likely exit stage left and not worry about this title.
