3. A LONG-TIME ADVOCATE OF DIVERSITY AND EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, LCDR RODRIGUEZ WAS AWARDED A MERITORIOUS SERVICE MEDAL FOR THE GREAT ADVANCES HER EFFORTS MADE IN THE DIVERSITY OF THE LEGAL PROGRAM. HER RECRUITING EFFORTS RESULTED IN OUTREACH TO OVER 2500 STUDENTS, WITHThere used to be a time in the maritime services where we frowned upon those who in their official capacity showed preferential treatment towards one ethnic group or the other - or executed their duties towards one ethnic group while ignoring another. That used to define bigotry and exclusion.
366 COMPLETED APPLICATIONS, AND THE SELECTION OF 34 NEW DIRECT COMMISSION LAWYERS. OF THE NEWLY SELECTED DIRECT COMMISSION LAWYERS WHO ENTERED THE CG DURING HER TENURE, 41 PERCENT WERE UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES, 41 PERCENT WERE FEMALE, AND 17 PERCENT WERE LATINAS. LCDR RODRIGUEZS NUMEROUS OUTREACH INITIATIVES ENSURED ROBUST RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION OF DIVERSE ATTORNEYS AND INTERNS.
4. AN ONGOING HISTORY PROJECT INITIATED BY LCDR RODRIGUEZ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE CG HISTORIAN IDENTIFIED PREVIOUSLY UNRECOGNIZED ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE CG LEGAL PROGRAM BY AFRICAN AMERICANS, HISPANICS, LATINAS, AND OTHERS. THESE FIRSTS WILL NOW BE RECORDED IN CG HISTORICAL ACCOUNTS.
Now we reward that behavior.
Pathetic.
