Back yourself off.

instead go and lube up your cyclic and then sit on it. Or, take your own advice and 'don't post.'
This junior officer got trotted out by the Public Affairs gang, who chose to highlight her achievement for their own/political purposes, and she put a good face on it. None of that, being a good soldier/sailor/officer, and doing as your chain of command bids you, is justification for anyone in our fraternity - military aviation - to denigrate her qualification to be there. (PS: you might want to do a bit of due diligence: she's an Annapolis grad, which has its own culling mechanisms long before flight school ever happens)
