Looks like I got promoted this month. They didn't tell me until they had gotten our whole little group together, and called me up in front of everyone. Technical Sergeant (E-6) in 7 years.  


Man I'm so happy right now.  ;D ;D ;D

Congrats P!!  That's cool they surprised you!     [beer]


Funny..I looked at the patch and it made me think back to BMTS.  Tech Sgt Grandberry..my TI at Lackland. 

Damn..that was nearly 22 years ago now!

Congrats!  From what I understand of USAF ratings, E-6 in 7 years is breakneck pace.

You don't think anyone would notice a couple of sticks of aircraft flare missing, do you?  ;D
We could put it wherever you need a good sized hole in the ground....
