Cool man! I think my dad went from Staff Sergeant to Warrant Officer when he was in.

I'm glad you are being recognized for your work, i remember you not being happy about being passed over a little while ago.

Thanks everyone. I was at the base-wide promotion party earlier...OPEN BAR, DUDE! I left early though so I could Skype my sister back in NJ. Now I'm just getting sauced in my room before I hit the group drink effort.

Congrats. :cheers: Recently found out my brother turned down the review procedure (or what not) to get promoted to General. :eek3: He's looking to retire in two years, though.

Seriously... when I read 3.5 years I was and now I'm thinking of how I spent the past several years.

That is crazy. From my understanding though, the Generals' Review is a rather arduous process, so I can see why a Lt.Col would avoid it and retire.

:werd:

He's also got a lot of shit going on in his private life. Drama with his ex wife and trying to get full custody of his four kids. His priorities to them trump the Air Force. Plus he's been in since he was 18..
