Obama picks female non-pilot to be commander of Pacific Air Forces

[mota bhai 2,675]

The Pentagon announced this week that Air Force Lt. Gen. Lori J. Robinson has been nominated for promotion to four-star general and as commander of Pacific Air Forces, the Air Force component of U.S. Pacific Command. It is a major combatant command whose air, ground and naval forces have broad responsibility for security in the Asia-Pacific region. Her nomination was sent to the Senate for confirmation.

...

Pilots historically have commanded Air Force war-fighting components for the Pacific and for U.S. Air Forces Europe; Air Forces Central, which covers the Middle East and Afghanistan; and the 1st Air Force, which is part of Northern Command and protects U.S. skies.

Gen. Robinson is not a career pilot. Her military profession is air battle manager. She has served aboard the Air Force’s surveillance aircraft, the E-3 AWACs and E-8 JSTARS, and she was nominated for a promotion amid a drive for more diversity in the Pentagon.

I think it is important that she be qualified for the job. I don't see how a woman wouldn't, but then again, I am not a misogynist.

Talk about a match made in Purgatory. They could have their own talk show. I'll be in Danno's corner, for comedic value.

Danno knows what he wants in a womb and if you don't fit the bill, then the yokes on you.
