The Army reposes special trust and confidence in........

First off, I want to apologize for not posting for nearly 10 months. After the last blog post in Kandahar last year, we began to transition over to the 101st and we moved out of our building that had internet access and it became more difficult to get computer time to write. After we got back to the states in April, I had so much free time on my hands to be able to do some of the stuff that I didn't get a chance to do during deployment that the blogging kind of slipped by the wayside. So, in preparation for another deployment, I will do my best to keep you updated of all my goings on.

In case you are wondering (which I'm sure several of you are lol) the title of the blog is alluding to a promotion. Yes, thats right. After nearly two years as a Corporal, I was officially promoted to Sergeant yesterday. Its nice because people will finally stop asking me when I put on my E-5 or when I go to the board. See, as a Corporal, its really only supposed to be a temporary position while you are waiting to put on Sergeant. Since I got promoted to Corporal so soon, I don't think anybody really had any idea what to do so they just let me keep it for awhile. That is no more, however. I am full Sergeant now and we get paid tomorrow, so we will see how much of a pay increase it is. That is about all I have for now. Our schedule will be picking up a bit in the future and during February I will hopefully be attending the 82nd Pre-Ranger course with a class date for Ranger School starting at the beginning of March and running through the first week of May. In the next couple days, I will try and put another blog or two together to fill you in on the last few months.

All the Way.
