Which milestone occurred in 1990 as per the record?

• A. Kristine Carvajal first female OIC ashore
• B. Diana Bucci first female OIC afloat
• C. Pamela Autry first female engineer E7
• D. Alice Jefferson first SPAR

Answer: (A)

Recognizing when women first took command roles in shore-based units is what this item tests. In this record, the milestone in 1990 is Kristine Carvajal becoming the first female Officer in Charge ashore. An OIC is the person in charge of a unit or department, and “ashore” means the assignment is land-based rather than on a ship. This marks a historic step in expanding leadership opportunities for women within shore-based commands at that time. The other options point to different milestones or eras—such as an OIC afloat, a first female engineer at a certain rank, or a SPAR-related achievement—that do not align with the 1990 record.
