Today, I was promoted to
Lieutenant. As the deputy chaplain was about to administer the oath to me, the
master guns (master gunnery sergeant) called the room to attention. The oath
was administered and I prided myself for not getting emotional when I repeated
“with no mental reservation” and “so help me God”. I seem to get emotional
every time I say those two lines. My sponsor pinned on my railroad tracks and
the ceremony ended. I could not have asked for two better, more amazing chiefs
who worked in tandem to make heads or tails of my records to make this happen
so quickly. In their honor, I will be making a donation to the Wounded Warrior
Fund because that seems to me to be the most meaningful way I can show them how
deeply I am thankful for all they have done for me.
