US Navy Reserves retired Captain (O-6), didn't make it to flag rank, but he worked his way up in life and didn't lose his faith. His niece graduated from the US Naval Academy but I told him military service is not an advisable career for a godly female. A godly female should only take a job she can quit if that becomes necessary. He said she and three other females protected each other as best they could at the USNA. Since she graduated some years ago, I don't know if she was able to find the protection to remain godly as a US Navy line officer but I hope so.
