Military Promotion!

[werebear]

My little brother just got promoted to Specialist in the Army and I wanted to brag a little bit. His unit's name is Tropic Lightning just in case anyone knows it.

Congrats to your little brother. Is he in the 25th ID ? That was what we called Tropic Lighting or the Electric Strawberry!! But that was a while back :D

 

[sailorjeremy]

Congrats from his Navy brethren!

 

[yazamitaz]

It's hard-earned. May he enjoy his new status with pride.

Congrats to your bro! I am only familiar with Tropic Thunder. Surely they have crossed paths!

Congratulations to your brother for his hard work in earning a well-deserved promotion.
From a retired naval officer.

I always thought Army Specialists got a raw deal. Unlike E-4s in the Navy, Marine Corps,and Coast Guard, Specialists (and Air Force Sr. Airmen) aren't NCOs. I personally think your brother's promotion should come with the same privileges that most of the other services offer.

Congrat to your family! :clap:

Congratulations to your little brother. Your family must be so proud of him. Thanks to him and all other service men and women, past, present and future for preserving the freedoms I appreciate every day.

I talked to him and he said he is 25th ID but when he re-enlists which should be soon, he's going to switch to Airborne. (He's already done the Air Assault school for artillery. He also won Soldier of the Month, twice.)

Another Jarhead sends Congrats...!

 

[cortezattic]

[tuold]

As a former S/sgt in the US chAir Force, I'd like to add my congrats as well. He sounds like an outstanding soldier indeed.

Good for him, Werebear!
All of those young men and women in uniform are in my daily thoughts and prayers.
