The USS Abraham Lincoln community recently shared some good news on its Facebook page.
Command Master Chief Susan Whitman was honored with the 2011 Joy Bright Hancock Senior Enlisted Leadership Award.
The award recognizes visionary leadership of service members whose ideals and dedication further the integration of women into the U.S. Navy, according to an article on the Navy’s website.
Whitman, who is from Illinois, is one of four woman sailors in the history of the Navy to rise to the position of command master chief aboard an aircraft carrier.
The Lincoln is currently on deployment in the Arabian Sea. If you want to keep up with them, like I do, visit their Facebook page.
