USNI Awesome Blog, where have you been all my internetcareer. In this post, Springboard takes note of Michele Flournoy’s possible ascension to a senior Pentagon position and uses it as an opportunity to pay tribute to the Navy’s glass-ceiling-breakers.

I’m sure the Navy’s record in integrating women into leadership roles isn’t perfect–nobody’s is–but I strongly suspect the other services are worse and will be a bit hard-pressed to keep up with a Navy intent upon demonstrating its history of promoting women. (What other service has a Grace Murray Hopper of their very own?)

All right so there’s some interservice rivalry here. Still.
