Title: Congrats to one of the Mods!
Post by: Al Sayre on July 14, 2008, 04:06:04 PM
Congratulations to MAJOR Dan Pace.  The boss signed his paperwork yesterday, and he'll be official as of midnight tonight (provided he doesn't make any MAJOR screwups :D ).  Well deserved and well done!   :clap:

So Pace, whom did you stay out with until 3-5 in the morning to earn the promotion?  ;-)

Congrats!

I thought I was a young Major.  You're setting a blistering pace, so to speak.  ;D

Well in theory.....

21 yo Spaatz = 21 yo Captain

Add 3 years to major - 24 yo Major

Add 4 years to Lt Col - 29 yo Lt Col.

Congrats Pace, and not to steal the thunder.

but I'll throw my youngness in there as well.

22 Capt, but also Group/CC so hopefully soon to be Maj.

That puts me at 26/27 Lt.Col

Are you out of your mind?!?  :o

I had the 22 y/o Capt part, but I wouldn't want to be a Group CC until I'm... well... I don't ever really want it. :)  Squadron commander was enough for me.

That's about the truth, but hey, miracles happen. Maybe next we'll get subdued insignia, boonie hats, berets, and new vans for every squadron.  ;D
