QUANTICO, Va. — <\/span><\/p>\n

In a ceremony today at The Basic School aboard Camp Barrett, the Marine Corps welcomed an uncommon celebration in the dual promotion of both Brig. Gen. David Everly and Col. NaTasha Everly. The pair are a dual-active military couple who join a small, intimate number of families who devote their professions and family to service.<\/p>\n

NaTasha Everly, a Department of State fellow, was promoted to the rank of colonel by Brig. Gen. Ahmed Williamson, director of operations for U.S. Cyber Command, before her husband, David Everly, director of Manpower Plans and Policy, was promoted to the rank of brigadier general by Lt. Gen. James Glynn, deputy commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs.<\/p>\n

In the brief moments proceeding Brig. Gen. Everly\u2019s promotion, the couple shared a photo as colonels. Laughter filled the room at the sight of two Marines who, according to 2022 demographic data, are included in the 3.6 percent of the total Marine Corps population who are in dual-military marriages. They are among 1.2 percent of the Marine Corps who are in a dual-military marriage with children.<\/p>\n

\u201cService equals sacrifice, but specifically it means we’re committed to being role models to our children,\u201d NaTasha Everly said, prior to the ceremony. \u201c[A dual-military marriage] is a journey that can be navigated together. Never think a specific job is more important than keeping your family together. \u2018Bloom where you are planted\u2019 may seem like a clich\u00e9, but it has worked for our family.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a combined total of more than 50 years of service and 14 years of marriage, the Everlys thanked the family, friends, and mentors who helped make their shared success possible\u2014many of whom supported their four children.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur pledge to you all\u2014what we can ensure you\u2019ll get from us\u2014is prayer, the best we have, an open door, an open ear, and every single opportunity to change somebody\u2019s life in a positive manner,\u201d David Everly said. \u201cYou\u2019ll continue to have a family that loves you and that loves being Marines.\u201d<\/p>\n
