I just wanted to let you all know who my boss is. I thought that this was rather impressive and she did not even let us know that she made history. She's cooler than a fan and real down to earth.

Lt. Col. Daniels is a native of Prentiss, Mississippi and a graduate of J. E. Johnson High School. She received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Kentucky State University in Frankfort, Kentucky, and a Master of Science degree from Central Michigan University. Her military education includes the Officer Candidate School, Amphibious Warfare School, Advance Comptroller School, Acquisition Management Course, and the Command and Staff College. Lt. Col. Daniels was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in Louisville, Kentucky, and began her active duty career August 13, 1974, at the Basic School, Quantico, Virginia. She has served in many capacities in the Marine Corps, including Minority Affairs Officer, Manpower Division, Headquarters Marine Corps, and as Military Assistant to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Equal Opportunity, Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Force Management Policy), Washington, D. C. Currently, Lt. Col. Daniels is the City Manager for Clinton, Tennessee.

Lt. Col. Daniels has received numerous awards and decorations, including the Defense Meritorious Service Medal with Oak Leaf Cluster, Joint Service Commendation Medal, Meritorious Service Medal, Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal, and Navy/Marine Corps Overseas Service Ribbon. She was the recipient of the 1983 Outstanding Young Women of American Award, the 1985 National Urban League Achievement Award, and the 1991 Dollars and Sense Magazine Achievement Award.

Lt. Col. Daniels is married to Brigadier General Tommy Daniels. They have two children, Rachel and David. .

And if you want to know why she made history. She is the first and only female that made Lt. Col. in the Armed Forces. There is no other black female or female period that made Lt. Col in Uncle Sam's army. She's in Jet magazine and some others for being a black pioneer. That is truly amazing! I can tell my kids that I actually worked for someone who is considered up there with Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, and all the others. Check out the people who she is ranked with in black history on

Doris is a Marine. And she wasn't the first female nor black female to reach LtCol in the armed forces, maybe Marines Corp. One of her fellow peers was at my house after the Bayou Classic, Col D. Williams.

Not only is she from Mississippi, but she is from P-TOWN, baby. One day they might put her mug up on a billboard next to mine proclaiming their pride for producing us. :D :nod2: :D :nod2:

SHUT UP, ms.sonic.;)

go back and read my post. Better still, go ask your boss.
It was the Marine Corps. You was right.

I found the magazines.

Jet magazine February 3, 1992 with Vanessa Williams on the front.
Pg 26 reads
"Marine Corps Named its 1st Black Female Colonel"

Ebony magazine November 1992 with Evander Holyfield on the front.
Pg 48 reads
"Lt. Colonel Doris A. Daniels, USMC". And it speaks about EM's Women of Distinction for 1992.

Timelines of African American History (Dont know what issue)
Pg 340 reads
"Doris Daniels becomes the first African-American woman to achieve the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marines."
 
Blacknbengal...that article is not the truth. There is a Lt. Col in the Army from Monroe, LA who went to GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY. Her name is: Lt. Col. Marilyn Wills. How do I know this? My mother and her mother are best friends. Also, Grambling Grads check the 2002 year book, page 153.

Are you sure you didn't mean to say that she was the first black female Lt. Col.

Furthermore the POW in Gulf War I is a full bird Colonel now. Not taking any credit from the sister, but brother she ain't the only one.

By the way SUGE...your fellow Gramblinite went to Wossman High School.

She's the Deputy Chief of Staff for Personnel Congressional Affairs at the Pentagon.

I did not write the article, I just posted it.
MikeB, you just make sure you have your ancient butt at Suge's party to send him out right. After all, he was there for yours.

Well at least the women are made out of something, too bad I can't say the same for the men!

:tup: to her!
 
First Black Female 1 Stars

Dude, the first Black Female Generals in the Army (Hazel Johnson, promoted to BG in 1979; Air Force, Marcelite J. Harris, promoted to BG in 1990 and the Navy, Lillian Fisburne, promoted to Rear Admiral in 1998) Johnson and Harris were promoted to LTC and COL before Daniels. (The Marine Corps were the last Armed Service to Admit Women and Blacks)

Big ups for the Marine Corps!!!!!!


***LTC Wills is on her way to become one of the next Black Female Generals in the Army. She received the Soldier's Medal for her actions after the Pentagon was Hit on 9-11. She also received my chapter's in Maryland Citizen of the Year last year.


By the way, I'm currently serving with Alcorn's 2nd female Colonel in the Army (Bette Washington, Commander of the 501st Corps Support Group in South Korea)
 
Damn you SOB's know how to piss on a party. He was just passing alone information...
