Congrats!
When I made E-6 (Army staff sergeant) I was working in brigade HQ and the only guy I out-ranked was our clerk-typist who was one fo the last draftees in the Army.
Best wishes on your future!

A life time ago in the Army I only made it to E7 in seven years and was considered for E8 when I walked away. Just to much understanding of what was going on and I was just plain tired of all the mikey mouse stuff that was coming down the road. So I walked, always wondered if I made a mistake in leaving. The military tracked me for over 30 plus years after I walked away and have just now stopped looking for me, at least I think they have stopped. ha ha

Thank you all for the kind words. I will be a SSgt now. "Gunny" is next...6 more long years from now.
Now I have to figure out my life all over again. I've been here for 3 years which means Uncle Sam is going to want me to move. Boo. I love Nevada. That means I need to hurry up and get my house bought.
I sent my dream sheet in requesting:
1. San Diego
2. Japan
3. Camp Lejeune (Boo)
Time to see where the road takes me from here.
That road stretches a loooong way, and you can't know (right now) where it will lead. But as Chief Dan George said in "..Josie Wales", Endeavor To Persevere, and it will lead to satisfaction and success.

One of the most endearing sights in the world is the vision of a naked good-looking woman leaving the bedroom to make breakfast. Bolivar Shagnasty (I believe that Lazarus Long also said it, but I can't find any record of it.)

I would hope your next duty station is a good fit for you and your family.
What is your MOS mine on paper was combat engineer instructor in the Army. Really liked working with all the different branches back then, never found the Marines that hard to deal with when compared to some National Guard Units. Nothing against the Guard just some units were interesting shall we say.
Thanks for serving and just curious for those of us that are still waiting on brass will we see it before your move or are you taking it with you to finish up the group buy at the new duty station?

Congrats Jarhead!!!! It is a big step joining the SNCO ranks, more responsibility and more headaches, but cherish every second! Like you, I spent 6yrs in grade before I was selected and then 5 more before Gunny and man how I wish I could go back to those days. Think about the drill field for your next move, you'll work your **** off but you'll never regret it.
Semper Fi!!
