Congrats CmbtEngr

I for one am Very proud of my Son. He has come a long way from bull headed young man
to a slightly less bullheaded Man. LOL
Congrats Bud. Dad Former Sp4 also.
Now you get to go to the promotion board for the next stripe...
 
keep a SGT and a PFC rank handy! 1 up / 1 down [wink]

j/k

congrats!

edit: E-5 and E-3 for the non-Army types [rofl]
 
Congrats on your promotion. Is this SPC or CPL? And how is it decided in the Army whether one is a SPC or CPL?

many moons ago, i was Corporal for like two weeks. it was "their" way of telling me i was a cheese dick. [laugh]

*nothing against CPL stripes, but i've had a bad taste in my mouth ever since 1996 on the CPL stripes program - only in non-combat arms units.

my squad leader was a CPL with 9 years time in service and 5 years time in grade as a SPC. they finally let him to PLDC after he passed two consecutive APFT's and they "handed" him those stripes. complete douche bag.

once I moved on to Infantry Land - i found a new respect for the rank.

furthermore, in the national guard, i got my [STRIKE]skid marks[/STRIKE] racing stripes and wore them for two weeks before i made SGT [laugh][rofl]
