A White House statement said Monday that Wilson, a former New Mexico congresswoman and president of the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology, would be the first Air Force Academy graduate to hold the position, if confirmed.

Wilson served in Congress from 1998 to 2009, where she was a senior member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and chaired the House Subcommittee on Technical and Tactical Intelligence.

I seem to recall an Air Force class designation that was abbreviated "LCWB." Do you suppose this woman has the testosterone and sense of principle to help reestablish the ancient order of the service academies?

Women in warfare are like France, correct? I think it was Rummy who said, "Going to war without France is like going into battle without your accordion."

You’re right. Totally foreign concept to government, unfortunately.

Time for the world to learn about “Trump Maga”.

A real world mix of effective techniques, no flashy show moves.

“LCWB.”
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
I would presume this means the same in USAF as it does in USN.

However
We all know that when someone says ‘secure the building’

The Marines Launch an assault and level it.
The Navy turns out the lights and locks the door
The Army puts a perimeter guard around it
The Air Force takes out a 5 year lease with option to buy
