Non-Football: Guess Who's Getting Promoted

Tsgt_medium

Hey, remember a while back when I talked about how I was testing for promotion and that I was waiting to hear back about the results?

Well, today was the big day. . .the results are in, and yours truly is going from E-5 to E-6.  Woo-hoo!

I'm not sure of the exact date I'll be sewing on or anything yet.  Once I get home from work, I'll expand this post further to give an explanation of how the promotion system works.  But I thought I'd just get this up here now.

Now I suppose I can stop worrying about whether or not I'm getting promoted and get back to concentrating on Vikings' football, eh?  Yeah, that would probably be for the best.  (-:

Thanks to everyone out there that wished me well and supported me during the past few months when it came to this.  This is pretty huge for me, and I couldn't possibly be happier.

Congrats!

When you go to somebody's house, you don't crap on their floor. Being a fan of one team does NOT give you license to be a dick to fans of another.

Congratulations, Gonzo!

"He didn’t call me or anything. It was an accident, but a lot of people would have called to see how someone is doing after they got hit in the head. Especially if they had to go on the DL." — Morneau on pitcher Ron Villone after an April 2005 beaning.

I was in the Air Force myself and only made it to E-4 before I got out at the 4 year mark.

Grats Gonzo

Remember, TSgt is the hardest to make on your own. It’s the same test for MSgt, so keep it fresh by reviewing it ever so often and be ready to test (and make it first time) in a couple years.

Again, that is great news! Certain things you remember doing when you find out good/bad news. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when I got the news that I made TSgt in 2004. Bet you still can’t believe it, eh?

Well done, Gonzo! Good thing we aren’t all within arm’s reach or you’d be sore for a week after we were ALL done tacking that baby on for ya :))
