1 Feb 2009 - Promotion
I don't recall when I last wrote about my impending promotion, but I know that last year I wrote about being selected for promotion. That was in April, I believe, not long after the selection board results were announced. At the time, I mentioned that my promotion "number" was 1620 - that is, there were 1619 other Marines who would have to be promoted before me. Well, my number has finally come up, literally: I will be promoted to the rank of Captain of Marines, effective 1 Feb 2009. You can see the official announcement message here. It's party time!

Git 'er dunn!!
Congratulations, brother. If you're going to be a snot-nose college boy shave-tail zero, Captain's the way to go! It's pretty much like the Corporal of the officer ranks: senior enough to get stuff done, junior enough to pass the buck, right? Seriously, though, if I had just one captain like you, I'd still be in The Suck! Semper Fi.
