On January 15th we found out fantastic, yet very surprising news... Russ was selected to be promoted 'below the zone' to Lt Colonel. That is in civilian terms "promoted early" and a very good deal. We were very excited because this is a pretty big deal!
Now, Russ will not actually pin on for quite a while, but in the Air Force, when the 'list' comes out, the guys who are promoted are pretty much required to throw a party as soon as possible... so $350 later (what we each had to pay... ouch) the party ensued. As unexpected as it was, we were not complaining! Soooooo proud of Russ!
um... yeah... is this what a future LT COL looks like?
