Hopefully it is transgendered too!

Among her many distinctions, Howard in 1999 became the first African-American woman to command a Navy ship.
You think?

Oh great. Another Affirmative Action appointee. Now if she’s only a lesbo, that will make it a trifecta.

Usually the senior leaders of the Navy have experience with senior fleet leadership . . such as CINCPACFLT. Seems to be missing here.

Yuh know, I take my comment back.
She’s actually quite accomplished, has lineage and is also married to a Marine(ret).
I won’t ask the AM to pull my post either.

Come on Guys lay off, she actually earned her way to the top and did not demand promotions because she was a Women, I remember her when I was in and truth be told she seemed very Conservative as quite as it was kept. Now i can speak on many others Women in the Officer’s Corp, but I can tell you she earned hers thru hard work unlike many other Politically Correct Chicksh!t Officers.

She's married, according to her bio...however..that doesn't necessarily mean anything..
I can't say that she has command presence..but heck, neither does that ass wipe Martin Dempsey..

Oh wait, THAT'S Obama. As for her, umm...
To: molson209
She went fro commander to 4 star admiral in 15 years. That tells me the promotions boards are more interested in advancing a minority than finding qualified candidates.
