Marines promote UT-Arlington grad

 Houston Chronicle:

UT-Arlington grad becomes Marine Corps' first Black four-star general

Gen. Michael E. Langley became the first Black Marine to receive a fourth star on his shoulder in the Corps’ 246-year history in a ceremony on Saturday

Becoming a four-star general in the Marine Corps is quite an accomplishment for any Marine.  As a former Marine officer, I know how hard it is just to get through OCS.  I remember seeing graduates from prestigious colleges around the US fall aside on the hill trail in Quantico or just not have the demeanor and temperament to become a Marine officer.  As you go up in the ranks the competition gets even stiffer.

Gen. Langley is to be congratulated for his service and accomplishmnets.
