Promoted!

Saturday 07 July 2007 at 1:23 pm Friday was a pretty good day at work. Well, to start off with.. it was FRIDAY! How bad could the day be if it's followed by a weekend?

Anyways, shortly after I arrived at work I was presented with my promotion to Sergeant! While the promotion itself is not a great big deal, it does have a bit of change attached to it. I will no longer be a Junior NCO so the wet mess I have attended all of my career is no more. Off to the Sgt's and WO's Mess for me. I have heard rumors about the new mess.. so time will tell whether or not they turn out to be true.

Of course the pay raise will be nice. A first year specialist Sergeant makes more than a standard Warrant Officer. It sure won't hurt the coming pension. Sadly a posting also accompanies the promotion which is taking me out of my current operational flying position and will see me sitting behind a desk in a deputy system administrators job. The new job really interests me a lot and I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead.. but leaving the flying behind (at least for now) is heavy on the heart.
please comment
