Congratulations, BrigGen Halstead!

I saw on the 'ticker' line on the news today that Rebecca Halstead has been promoted to Flag Officer. She is a 1981 graduate of the United States Military Academy, and the first woman grad of any military academy to reach this rank.

23 years of service - obviously mostly in charge of Support Commands, is not too shabby! For a time frame when the United States was mostly at peace (give or take), that's pretty bloody quick! And, no, I'm NOT making any innuendoes here - She's worked hard and deserves everything she's earned.

Congratulations!
