Do you know what the difference is between a Cadet Airman and a Second Lieutenant?












The Cadet Airman has been promoted!

Congrats Kristian! The next 12 months will be a blur for ya. Seems like yesterday I got my 'butters' and I'll be putting on silver come the last week of March. I've got my rating in IT, and as soon as I can get the AFAIDL PAO course done, I'll get my tech rating there.

BTW, I don't think I ever told you how much I like your unit's website since you sprang the image of the initial design on us. How's that unit patch doing? Finally get it in thread? I'll buy one from ya if ya let me, it's a great design!

Thanks. The patch is going slow. Our budget's a little tight, so...

Congratulations Eltee!

Just remember Major Lords' simple formula for promotion: Promotions- P= TIG X PPTS/M, where TIG = Time in Grade, PPTS = Power point Slides, and M = Money.

This is not to be confused with Major Lords' Theorem of Uniform Ratios, which states that if your waist diameter (in inches)  is greater than 1/2 your height , in inches, you are on the statistical edge of having to switch to Corporate Uniforms.

It's a HUGE deal!  Congratulations!  Keep moving - CAP is a work of love, and I think you'll find that the overwhelming majority of us have loved it for a long time.  It's a great organization with even greater people.  Thanks for your service and your willingness to serve.

Congratulations Kristian!  I wish I could say I remember being a 2d Lt, but I never was one...but you should be proud of your accomplishment!  Don't forget to let finance know you need a raise :)
