She was never a pilot or aviator, but an NFO, naval flight officer, maybe a navigator. It is very unusual that an NFO was given the command of a squadron, she had a lot of political or PC pull. The real reason she was put there was because of the screwups that Rempt had with the rape court martial of a male midshipman that was practically thrown out of court and some other command influence problems he had with another case. It's very unusual that Smedberg, a former Superindendent of the Naval Academy voiced such a response to the Klein appointment. Something stinks here, and a lot of alumni (including me) are yelling to high heaven on the USNA boards. You'll hear a lot more of this untill Rempt is moved out to his billet.

I guess the term "Maggy's Drawers" is out of question now on the Naval Academy rifle range.

Where the hell have you been? It's not at all uncommon for an NFO to command a squadron, and hasn't been for 20-odd years.
