I was promo'd to 1st LT last night. After several months of confusion trying to get my AFAIDL PAO test for tech rating done, it feels nice to not have all the RM vets teasing me about being a butter bar.

"Hey Walker, what's the difference between a PFC & a Butterbar?"
"The PFC has been promoted twice"

Congratulations!! If you were in the RM, you could now join the O Club: at least that is what I was told when I made the silver bars.

I wish that were the case, but not quite that.

So that means I need to get my donut from the box on the way to meeting, instead of waiting for everyone else.

I'd rather be butterbar'd than be SMWOG ;)
