She looks like a younger version of K.C. Of K.C. And the Sunshine Band

Only a combat veteran should head up the Academy. Is “Dean” the top job? Is she a combat veteran?

Me too. I really think the academies need some of the young officers from the wars to step up into these managerial roles and teach the older 90s officers where we need to be taking the military in order to fight these non-symmetrical wars effectively.

Combat Veterans leave the service. Sucks, but true.

The Dean is responsible for many things, but is an administrator for the staff specifically.

Must be nice to spend most of your military career hanging out on a college campus.

The rest of the suckers in the Army (like me) have to move every other year in between deployments.

Yeah.... I think it’s a woman, but it’s a lefty for sure. These folks should be in charge of anything military. Whole different subject. But Barry has charged the Army with combating globull “whatever”, so she’s a perfect fit.

The warrior purpose of the service academies was struck in 1976 to accommodate the first class w/women.

The Service Academy Honor Codes have become jokes.

The USCG Academy just finished a full tour for its first female Admiral Superintendent. She was an avid athlete (swimmer) and strong, intelligent officer. Seamless operations of a male Admiral before her and now after her. I thought she was great.
