That is Lil in a tan felt cloche hat and waving while standing next to the U.S. Navy Bluejacket statue at the Navy Memorial across from the National Archives in Washington DC in September 2010. It is an image I keep on my desk, and it frequently appears in the background of my build images.
The image that Lil uses as her avatar is cropped from a photo of us on the fantail of the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force destroyer Shirayuki steaming in Sagami Bay during the 1990 JMSDF annual Naval Review. At the time, I was the Assistant Chief of Staff for Strategic Plans and Policies (J-5) of U.S Forces, Japan, and Lil was the Yokota Air Base commander's secretary.
