/former AF intel guy agrees. Also too, the implicit assumption that everybody who is, was or ever will be in the military has no intelligence is kinda hurtful.
It’s a touchy subject for Navy brass, who have struggled to replace Branch. Twice in the past 14 months, they have taken steps to nominate a new intelligence chief — who must be confirmed by the Senate — but haven’t followed through. There’s no indication that a successor will be in place anytime soon.
"In November 2014, the Navy prepared a nomination package for Rear Adm. Elizabeth Train to become the service’s intelligence head. […] Her nomination was finally sent to the Senate Armed Services Committee in September.
Military intelligence is too broad a brush. It's Naval Intelligence that is the oxymaroon.

At the end of the article, it says
"In November 2014, the Navy prepared a nomination package for Rear Adm. Elizabeth Train to become the service’s intelligence head. […] Her nomination was finally sent to the Senate Armed Services Committee in September.
Nothing has happened since."
Thanks, Obama.
