i'm sure she will make the wrong choices! Democrats = failure
Wokeness has infected the military at the same time we completely botch the Afghanistan withdrawal. Coincidence?
And role model for other females 🌹👏🇺🇲🕊️❤️⛅🌌🌌
Yes President Biden it's about time 🌹👏🇺🇲🕊️❤️⛅🌌🌌
🌹👏🇺🇲🕊️❤️
Wooo-Hooooo! Congratulations, Ma'am.
Fair Winds and Following Seas, Shipmate!

I always said, if a woman can go through child labor …she can do anything. My mom told me a few times, I wish you men can just experience childbirth. I was like….Nah….I'll pass !
What's a female 🤔
Biden is a simp
But does she have a track record of success? Or has she failed upwards her entire career? 🧐🧐🧐
Someone should tell her to flatten that hand when u salute
AND NEXT…THEY WILL ELIMINATE THE UCMJ…👀..
Congratulations 👏🏼🎉
💙
Hi mom Jun by in
I hope she's qualified.
Yes WONDERFUL! Congratulations.
Wow, so cool and also stupid that it has taken this long.
Surrounded by seamen
Idc if she is a woman, I just hope she is better than the last guy.
Are you going to really investigate the death of Vanessa Gullien's death or you're going to keep stone walling
Congratulations 🙌🏽🙌🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾
Finally to all the men who are making jokes you are brainwashed to hate & belittle women & your very insecure little men who are probably going to call their mom and cry about this a true man is not insecure so get over yourself
If she's the most qualified then I see no problem.
"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matthew 4:17
40+ years in the Coast Guard, that's dedication, commitment and loyalty, well deserved.
👏👏👏👏👏🤝
I feel all warm and fuzzy. That's bad, you're not supposed to feel like that about the military.
love the gesture, and what she said " women can do anything." unfortunately, not true but nice gesture. first, let's fight for abortion right for women and then talk about do anything.
Congratulations 🎈🎈🎈🎈
Congrats!! ⚓ A YAY DAY! Totally awesome!!
I salute you Madam Admiral Fagan. 🫡🖖🌺❣️😘
biden again making a mockery of the US military
Biden did this as a political stunt lmao
Only gonna act on emotions good luck to this military
Token
LOL… She's the most qualified? And Biden said, "It's about time". She was appointed because she has a vagina, not because she's the most qualified.
Another token hire like Buttigig at Transport and Granholm at Energy
She look like she seen some shhh. 😳
Where is Admiral Rachel Levine ?
