Congratulations.

We have a saying...just another 0 on the ol' paycheck. Congratulations! It means a lot, going from a SMWOG to an actual officer.

Congrats!
From one 2nd looie to another!
[My ribbon rack is shorter!!! >:D]
Congrats, first step on a long and hopefully rewarding journey.
Congratulations! It won't be long before you're catching up to the rest of us. ;)
Congratulations on your first promotion. Wear it with pride. :clap:
Col. Diaz,
I was hoping it would go through before the class so I didn't look AS green ;) On the other hand, it's kind of a point of pride that I got all the way through CLC before the first bar :) Hopefully it won't take me 9.5, as I have a PPL check ride due any week now, and have my eyes on CFI.
Thank you all for the kudos 8)
Congratulations :clap:
Congrats! Still waiting on mine!
Congrats, it means more that a little as you will realize in the future. On to the next goal.
Believe it or not, the night my first squadron put my 2nd Lieutenant slides on, and I stepped back, saluted my CC and she said "Congratulations, Lieutenant," is one of the primo warm fuzzies I've ever had in CAP. :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
Bravo Zulu!!

I was informed of mine in an email, lol. We've not had public senior promotions since before I came around.

That's unfortunate.

Agreed, but the process will also be changing, now that I find myself in a position to change it ;)
Not too many years ago, I got my certificates for Levels Two, Three, Four and Five in the mail from CAWG, along with the awards that went with the certificates. Really personal touch????

Heck, if I want certs and awards, I have to print them out myself.
Don't know about you, but I would think that a Gill Robb Wilson award might rate a personal award ceremony. Sorry, I forgot that I am from the old school where awards meant something.
I am also no longer in CAP.

Each Wing was supplied with the appropriate printer for certificates and awards. The source has changed, not the process.

Some of us like it that way. I did not really want to stand up for the SM PD awards. I did not stand for my presentation of the meritorious service medal (Army). I do not like having that kind of attention. Which is weird because I do not mind standing in front of a formation. The only one I was happy to stand up for was the Spaatz. I think that was because I was the first to receive it in 5 years for my Wing. However, there was no elaborate ceremony. Only a former Spaatz cadet promoting me, my parents, and a 3 other members.
However, that should not be the standard and only agreed upon by the person receiving the award.

Do you have to request those things?
Congratulations, on the promotion!! Keep up the great work.

I look at things differently. Instead of a checklist to make Lt Col maybe our officers should be the best possible 2nd Lt before 1st Lt, then Capt, Maj and then Lt Col. If it takes 20 years to make Lt Col, so be it.
Too many people join and expect Lt Col in 10 years and really have no knowledge of the whole CAP.

The certificates are in e-services. If you are authorized to award them they will be available to you .
Congrats! I've been in over a year and still waiting on mine.

Your location presents its own issues. Your commander needs to directly contact NHQ and tell them the problem.
