The great thing about this news story this week was how it was pretty much taken for granted:

Brig. Gen. Select Kristin Goodwin will be moving to Colorado Springs soon to be installed as the commandant of cadets at the Air Force Academy. And she’ll be moving here with her wife and two children.

This may be the first time I’ve saluted an officer since Grant refused to accept Lee’s sword at Appomattox Court House.
