Joe Carter To Lead Mass National Guard
Joseph Carter, chief of the MBTA Police, perennially rumored to be on a short list for BPD Commissioner, and the hero of Oak Bluffs, will take over as head (Adjudant General, actually) of the Massachusetts National Guard, according to a press release from the governor's office.
The release notes that more than 1600 of the 6000 Guard members who will be under Carter's command are serving overseas, primarily in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo.
