I'll be honest, there could be worse choices. I met her when she was the D1 CO. Her and her husband would kayak from Hospital point to Gloucester. Super nice and well respected. I have no issue with this nomination.
As you well know (I'm sure), women in armed services get a bad rap, and have a hard time advancing. Linda came through in a MUCH different CG than the one we have today - DOT Coast Guard - old school hazing, and for a woman in the officer corps, that sucks ass. Good for her.

I’ve only heard good things about her.
Yup, f***in’eh!
My post title was mainly to play with innuendo, but I have nothing but respect to ANYONE that makes it that far. 36 years is quite literally a lifetime of service.
I’ve always looked at coasties as the marine equivalent of Marines! What we did on land, you crazy a**h***s did in the water!
Good on her, and genuinely refreshing to see a woman earn her stripes all the way to the top!
…unlike someone else.

When you wear full dress uniform with medals anything that’s a ribbon only (like a CAR) goes on the right. I guess the Coast Guard has a lot of those?

I stick by what I said at the beginning of this thread. I don't think she was a DEI "hire" - I think she got holding the bag though.
That might be true, but it isn’t necessarily a good thing.

Has she done a good job? Or did she run the alphabet flag to the maximum under Biden?

Anytime you paint with that broad a brush good people get caught in the crossfire.

Trump administration puts all federal DEI staff on paid leave - National | Globalnews.ca
The executive order on affirmative action revokes an order issued by President Lyndon Johnson, and curtails DEI programs by federal contractors and grant recipients.

Good. That office never should have existed. It is/was an insult to common sense and hopefully will never exist again. Maybe the Democrats learned their lesson but I doubt it.
