If the member is deployed, or slated to deploy, then most definitely. If they are stationed state-side I don't really see the problem with it. Assuming you want women to remain in the military in the first place, but that is a whole different topic. Funny, and agree to a point.

They have these big expose stories on people on the website with photos, multiple announcements, etc. For example, 'The blue sweater lady who found her sweater in Africa'. However, for Col.

Knowing what I know about Col Dabney, that announcement doesn't even scrath the surface. I knew little about COL Snyder, and the announcement tells me nothing.
