movin' on up

So four entries in one day may be going a bit overboard. But I have news that is worthy of this fourth entry! For the past two months, Jerry has been studying and preparing for the promotion board in order to get his promotion to Sergeant. Yesterday, he finally went to the board and got through it with flying colors. He performed better than the other 21 soldiers appearing at the board and received the maximum number of points. I'm very proud of him and applaud all of the hard work that got him there. The past months have been quite stressful for him (and therefore for us) and it's good to see that the hard work paid off. Though the board is over, there are still some administrative things that will need to happen before his rank is officially changed to Sergeant. Until then, he will be Corporal Promotable. We hope to see the SGT insignia pinned on (well velcroed on, but that doesn't sound as good!) around the 1st of October. A big congratulations to him!!
