Well Tad was promoted to Captain today. We are really proud and happy for him. He can now have his own command which is what he would like. It was a nice small ceremony with 8 others that were getting promoted as well. The Lt. Col. Gave a great little speech about how becoming a captain is different then getting a promotion to 1st Lt. 1st Lt. is a given for anyone doing their job, but Captains are sent in front of a board and only given promotion if they are seen fit to command troops and do a good job. He is excited about this promotion and also the pay raise that it will bring. :) Thanks for all the family support that we got during Tad's deployment. We couldn't do it without you...
