Thanks, Dr D! That's pretty cool that your daughter did the same, but it may be a bad sign, too!

Mark, I cannot think of a better man/friend to see GySgt Chevrons on. I hope that one day, in the Corps best interest, we have an opportunity to work together. All depends on if you decide "F" or "M".

Great Deal Mark,

You worked for it, and you earned it. Does not surprise me in the least that you got it.

Not a chance that I will be able to be there in person, so be sure to have your lovely get some pics, and post em up. Wont be the same as being there in person, but will be the next best thing.

Cheers to a job well done sir.

First of all congrats on the promo that's awesome.

I know all the branches are different but now I'm confused. Don't you just add a second rocker? That's three stripes with two rockers under for you now right?

Mark, did I read this correctly; you want to be known as the mad dude? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Anyway, whatever the title, congratulations on the promotion. Always remember, this does NOT give you any more authority over your wife.
