Not the last "First"
This is not the last "First" for this slot.
We still have the "First" openly "Gay Guy JAG" and "Gay Gal JAG" to go.
From the story "...Darpino will receive a third star, the required rank for the position, in a promotion ceremony scheduled for 1 p.m. in the Pentagon auditorium......."

She's ok. The jag corps has been hard-over on putting a female in that position for years. The prior picks would have been absolute disasters. Darpino is reasonable and earned her way to the position. Unlike some of the perfumed princes who have been "installed" there.

Clearly, there must have been no qualified male O-7s or O-8s to take the position, either.
Affirmative action, at its finest.
