promotion

The kids and I headed over to the squadron this morning to be part of the Major promotion ceremony held for Mike and several other guys.

Orders were read and the kids were all able to replace his Captain bars for gold oak leaves, one on each shoulder and one on the cap. (Jacob did the one on the hat with a little help but I was unable to get a picture of that one.)
The oath was taken.
And food and games followed.
Congratulations Mike! Nine and a half years of hard work has gained you so many new and astounding accomplishments. We are so proud of you and were happy to be part of the ceremony.

I accidentally hit the "next blog" button on top of my site and yours popped up. It's ironic because I'm heading to Niceville Friday. My boyfriend's dad is a Colonel at Eglin. Small World.
