It's true. I'm actually on the list for promotion in August.

It still hasn't really sunk in though because I was absolutely sure that I wasn't going to get it. But come August 1st bluetwo will be a Sergeant instead of a stupid Specialist. It's about time because I've been a Specialist since October of 03.... ...damn! Oh well.

I guess good things can come when you least expect it.

 

congrats man :usa:

 

:chuckles:

Time in grade promotion eh? :chuckles:

 

That's messed up! Actually I'm surprised you knew about that because it hasn't been going on that long...

Naw I actually went to a mock board, soldier of the month board, and the promtion board back in March and April, but the points for tankers have been at 798 for the last two months and somehow they actually went down for August. And I had just enough points.

Don't believe the points story look here... armystudyguide.com

 

I figured long time as a spec meant you been TIG'd.

<-- Former Marine. I got Time in Grade for PFC (e-2) then a meritorius Lcpl (e-3) but got kicked before it took effect

 

Oh. For some reason I was thinking you were in the Army, I remember reading something you posted once a while back, but it's just one of things I guess.

Thanks for serving whatever the circumstances.

 

It's all good.


I got love for you guys too... unless I am around my drunk Marine buddies of course :rick:

 

Cool.

It's funny in a way how branches go back and forth.... my little cousin is a Marine who just got home from Paris Island. He's all hoo-rah n' shit!
