Thanks - was just catching Hunter up and he goes and does this...
Selection for now - gotta wait until later this year to pin on. I will post pics. Barring any unforseen developments, this may be my first promotion on US soil - I have been OCONUS for everyone previous to this.
Wish dad was here, that bums be out the most, he would tear up and choke up when he told me he dreamed about me making Light Colonel.

Gosh! Talk about memories flooding back.......WOW!
Congratulations, Sir! Very well deserved and righteously earned. I remember having a very high sequence number for promotion to CW3, since I got picked up below the zone. I waited 315 days to pin it on. Seems like time drags. But I used it to plan.
Since my Dad was an O5, I decided to have him be my promotion authority. He was in the very, very early stages of Parkinson's Disease, but still capable of doing just about anything. Having Dad administer the Oath of Office to me was perhaps the greatest honor I've ever received. I REALLY wish I could find those pictures. They're around here somewhere.
Did manage to run across one from few years back.......taken the month I was selected for promotion to CW3. Regimental Dining In.
God I miss it!
