The Defense Department’s April 10 release of slated general promotions includes a historic first for the Corps.

Marine Corps Col. Lorna M. Mahlock, the deputy director of Operations, Plans, Policies and Operations at Marine Corps headquarters outside Washington, D.C., will become the first black woman to don the rank of brigadier general if she is confirmed.

Mahlock previously was stationed in Okinawa, Japan, where she was charged with overseeing 1,300 military and civilian personnel and $250 million in military equipment in support of U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific region.

Wow. Quite a resume. If she was in civilian life she would be qualified to operate a bus depot in a moderately sized city.

Reminds me of a quote:

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Bring in Gunnery Sergeant Highway.

[looking at Highway's file]

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Been in a long time.

Highway: I've felt some heat, sir.

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: I haven't as yet had the privelige of combat. I've recently come over from supply and logistics.

Choozoo: An unappreciated field of endevour, sir.

Maj. Malcolm A. Powers: Quite. My record of achievement thus far as been exemplary. I fully intend for that to continue.
