President Joe Biden has chosen Adm. Lisa Franchetti to lead the Navy. If confirmed, she will be the first woman to be a Pentagon service chief and the first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

    I am amazed that we’ve never had a female on the joint chiefs of staff .

      It’s 2023 ffs. I too am amazed (and shocked, and appalled) that we’ve only just now gotten a woman on the joint chiefs of staff.

      Sucks when I can’t even be excited cuz I’m just so disappointed it took this long.

        She’s not there yet. We have to convince Coach to not throw a fit over it first.

          Ugggggh I forgot about that. So, it’s not happening then. Probably. Maybe next decade.

      Well the military is about 99% men, and even less women sign up past the first 8 years. It makes unfortunate sense.
