Got my butter bars tonight.

I finally got my first promotion

I know it means little, but it feels good anyway.

Too bad you didn't have it Friday ..
You looked a little bare ..

Just four more until the "top" .. unless you've got Wing CC in your future ..
Oh, and about 9.5 more years.

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, first step on a long and hopefully rewarding journey.

Storm Chaser · November 26, 2013, 11:24:25 PM

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

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:

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

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.

bosshawk · February 26, 2014, 03:24:11 AM

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.
