It's a shame that the Academy didn't know you were more qualified for the position. It's a loss for us all.

In your opinion what is it exactly that makes her unqualified for the post?

This title is merit based at the Academy.

I believe they have had female Commandants before,...I think it was before PC ruled the day, as well. They are highly qualified and well respected by ALL members of the brigade.

Jack Aubrey would roll over in his grave.

If he had one, that is.

>>Klein previously served in the Presidential Contingency Plans Directorate of the White House Military Office

Under which President?

>>as a Brookings Legislative Fellow in 1997

Bad sign.

>>and on the staff of Senator Olympia Snowe

Another bad sign.

>>She holds a Masters of Education

Possible bad sign.

I need a picture of said Captain before I pass judgement.

Question for you navy types ---

How do you get promoted from Capt (0-6) to Rear Admiral (0-8)? Isn't the rank of Commodore (0-7) in between?

PC, eh? Sounds like her credentials are pretty darned good. How are yours for making such judgments?

Can you be more chauvenist?

She is good and qualified. It aint PC when a woman makes good in a role traditionally assigned to a man. She earned her place.

The Navy is no different than any other private corporation these days.

Congratulations to Capt. Margaret D. Klein for your selection as Commandant of Midshipmen. I'm sure that you will be an excellent "Dant". As an Academy grad and as an NFO, I'm sure that you are tough enough to endure some of the tiresome and tedious remarks such as those few that appear above.

Congratulations also to Capt. Bruce E. Grooms on your well-deserved promotion to Rear Admiral L.H.

What's PC about it? Sounds like she's as qualified as need be. Unless you think women have no place in the armed forces at all, nothing to complain about here.
