Congratulations to her on the meaningless achievement of getting promoted to a job many men have capably done before her without fanfare. I'm sure she'll do almost as good of a job as the many capable men passed over so that she could have this job before she dies childless.

Yeah, that must be it.

Yes, it is.

You know, The Voices sometimes do not tell you the truth.

Then how do I know that you're a miserable person who lashes out with naked hostility when empty sarcasm fails?

I am simply concerned about you. With January already here, please remember to wear your hat with the shiny side in, next to the scalp. It is a little warmer and offers just as much protection

Sorry that saying correct things about feminist drivel sends you into weird conniptions.

I suggest seeing a doctor; perhaps you have a mood disorder.

In the sixties or seventies a male captain grounded his carrier on a sand bank off San Francisco. A few hours later the evening paper ran a column headlined: He grounds the warship she walks on.

I suppose the Veep will pop a gasket over this.

The U.S. Navy announced on Friday that Captain Amy Bauernschmidt will assume command of the USS Abraham Lincoln, marking the first time a female commanding officer will lead the crew of one of the Navy's 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers.

Bauernschmidt will take command of Lincoln this summer, upon completion of the nuclear power, aviation, and leadership training required of aircraft carrier COs, a U.S. Navy statement said.

"I am incredibly honored and humbled to be selected," Bauernschmidt said. "I love leading Sailors and I take that responsibility extremely seriously."

Bauernschmidt was also the first woman to serve as the executive officer aboard an aircraft carrier, a position she held from September 2016 to January 2019, also on the Lincoln.

Bauernschmidt is a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and graduated from the United States Naval Academy in May 1994, the first graduating class in which women were allowed to serve aboard combatant ships and aircraft.

She was designated as a Naval Aviator in 1996 and served with several helicopter squadrons throughout her career.

Captain Bauernschmidt has previously commanded the "Spartans" of Helicopter Maritime Strike Squadron (HSM) 70 and amphibious transport dock USS San Diego.
