Ok, if you are my Facebook friend - no need to read this thread because I'm sure you've already heard an earful. :p
If not...GUESS WHAT!? Friday afternoon we got word that my DH made a huge progression in his Naval career and was selected as Chief Petty Officer! (that's E-7 for you non-Navy military ladies!)
I am so excited, proud, happy and extremely nervous at what this means for him! It's a huge deal and I don't really know what all it entails yet (other than a huge pay raise), but I'm so ready!
He left for initiation today (Chief Petty Officer is steeped in old tradition and requires a 6 week induction/initiation period, before being pinned) and won't be back til Friday.
So far he's had to write a 200 word essay, memorize pirate talk, memorize the theme song to Popeye, as well as several other Naval anecdotes! I can't wait to hear the stories!!!
