3 Stripes and You're Out

Wait.. that's not quite right... However, those of you that are more "militarily inclined" might get what I'm hinting at. Yes... I got my promotion! Two nights ago actually, but, every time I've come in to use the computers in approximately the last 48 hours, the internet has been down. I got pinned by the first sergeant, and one of the lieutenants, which was pretty cool as the LT is one of our favorite officers. He should make a good commander someday. It was also cool as, even here the guys maintained our unit promotion tradition and dumped cold water on me as I conducted pushups after getting pinned. An additional surprise was that a couple of the guys from my old "Top Gun" section who are currently "up north" were able to be there as they were here in Baghdad for the night. Due to operational requirements, I won't take on any additional duties/responsibilities at this point, but those should come along once we come home to the states and get back to doing what we used to do: blowing stuff up! That's really all that I have at this point, other than that the weather is refusing to cooperate and continue the downward trend; it was back up to 105 today. Hopefully it works itself out soon. I'm ready for cold weather!

SGT TeddY2K out!
