Really, all the promotion means is that I stuck around long enough and I have started to get gray. However, there are a couple of advantages I would like to point out. First advantage is that I will get some extra income each month. I am sure that if I do not find use for this that my family will :) Second, the higher the rank the fewer people I have to salute! I am also just one rank away from getting those prime 0-6 parking spots at the commissary and the golf course. Have a belated Happy Halloween.

ReplyDelete"Extra income" you say??? Hhhmm... I think this is a GREAT time to inform you that we've had the orchard cleared out and are finalizing the construction plans to build a Granny Flat for GG, Grandma Ann, & Lola. Nothing says, "WELCOME HOME MARK!" than extended family living on your property. Tucker Compound... has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? Congratulations Mark!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's right, I neglected to mention that I have already spent the money on a very lengthy walk-about in Australia. I plan to leave in April directly from Afghanistan.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Mark! Time flies, it seems like just yesterday when we were drinking in our honor in Oki. Love the blog!
