I can’t be sure since I’ve never had close associations with the military (my dad mustered out when I was 4), but the four little stripes by the cuff makes that person on the left look like a full bird colonel AND a woman.
I hate war and I wish we had a much smaller military consistent with actual self defense, but that’s a sign we’re doing some things right.
The stripes you are referring to, Crip Dyke, are actually overseas service bars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_Service_Bar) indicating that she has spent at least 24 months serving in combat zones. The rank is worn on the shoulder boards of this uniform. It’s a bit hard to discern from the photo but she appears to be a Lieutenant Colonel. Based on the various accoutrements she’s wearing on her uniform, however, I suspect she is likely to make full bird Colonel.
Thanks!

And someday he will have a framed photo like the one in our home…
A picture of a retiring Lieutenant Colonel and his (Full Bird, Female) commanding officer.
Of course, we hope that Connlann retires at a higher rank!
Please tell him that if he ever ventures down the coast to Monterey, the Lieutenant Colonel (PHD, RET),
will buy him a drink at the Trident Room on our campus.
And, I’m not at all surprised that PZ fathered such a fine young officer.
Clearly a bogus photo, no REAL serving US military would ever wear a mask like a traitor. I kid of course, congrats to Major Myers. I wish him the best in his chosen career.
Congratulations, Major! PZ,, please pass along my compliments and gratitude for the tough job ahead of him, which I know he will execute faithfully and well.
