Who was first?
This article claims that Patricia Ann Tracey was the first woman to reach promotion to three-star rank in the U.S. military. The article on Carol Mutter claims that Mutter (a lieutenant general in the Marine Corps) was first. Is the incompatibility of the two claims more of the rivalry between USN and USMC? More to the point here, which side is Wikipedia on? At present, it's on both. Rammer (talk) 04:38, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Promotion date to rear admiral
I'm trying to figure out the promotion date to Rear Admiral (RDML). Here are some notes: --Marc Kupper&#124;talk 23:03, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * On July 10, 1996 she's promoted from Rear Admiral to Vice Admiral.
 * is a neat read. No date for Flag selection. July 1996 for Vice Admiral.
 * is from October 1987 and has "Cmdr. Patricia A. Tracey, commanding officer of the Naval Technical Training Center, Treasure Island, Calif." I assume that in October 1987 she was not yet an admiral?
 * April 22, 1992 Capt. Patricia A. Tracey, commander of the Long Beach Naval Station, will be the commencement speaker May 28 at Long Beach City College. Capt. Tracey holds an M.A. in operations research and received the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) award for excellence, three Meritorious Service medals and a Legion of Merit. She served three tours as a systems analyst on the CNO staff.
 * July 22, 1992 ". Capt. Patricia A. Tracey, who held a two-year command..."
 * May 14, 1996 Presidential nominations announced yesterday would make ... Rear Adm. Patricia A. Tracey its first three-star female admiral.
