My youngest daughter was just promoted to Lt JG in the US Navy!  She has been in for 12 years.  She enlisted when she was 17.  After 2 tours in the Gulf, she came back to shore duty and went to college in the evenings.  She had to attend 2 colleges at the same time in order to graduate in 3 years of shore duty.  She did.  With Honors! Then she went off to OCS and was near the top in her class there too.  Now after 2 years as Ensign, she has been promoted.  She will get to retire before me!
