The DoD mandate for Ada ended in early 1997, and an entry that it was going to was in the comp.lang.ada FAQ in mid 1996, so assuming the "You gotta love her though, because the army says so" joke was at all timely, it had to be at most early 1996.

And, indeed, it was posted in rec.humor.funny in 1991.
