Pride Of A Father For A Woman Officer

Received the latest copy of The Military Officer. Among the articles is a brief, eloquent essay on page 58 by Col. Charlie King, USA-Ret "On the Day My Daughter Became an Officer."

The essay makes clear what it means to take the oath to "discharge well and faithfully the duties of the office which I am about to enter." As Col. King explains, it means far more than following orders.

It's worth reading and contemplating.
