BZ! Well Done...I'm assuming that promotion is just as big a deal as it is for us 'swabbies'. Congratulations, Sergeant First Class! A very nice ring to it indeed. Everyone who rates it can virtually tack it on...

In the Corps that would be an E-8, so you must be a Army puke? Egads!

Congrads Grampa.

Naw, I was in Iraq last year.

We DID tell Dan Rather he couldn't park his SUV near the Abu Ghuraib ECP tho and that we didn't want to talk to him. Very Happy
