[...] So many, many moons ago I wrote a post about waiting to find out if I had been promoted followed by another post wherein I announced I had not been promoted and was somewhat bummed. Well, this past Thursday the Air Force announced the listing of the newest Technical Sergeants and yours truly was on it. Woohoo! As the list was announced while I was at al Udeid in Qatar, I was able to take my ration card to the MWR tent and celebrate with two of my three federally authorized Strongbow hard ciders. Yum.

Yeah, I know all about that waiting to know – promotion or wait another year? Last year I didn’t find out until late May or early June (The List gets published in late June).

Good luck; may you make Tech this go-’round.

Yeah, very much like that. Usually you are informed by your supervisor or commander at a formation the morning of the release. Sometimes though your commander will let you know the evening before, which just adds to the tension…will I find out early or won’t I?

It’s like waiting for the results of a callback. I jump every time the phone rings. How will they let you know? Text message? Post on the internet? (That’s how John and Mattie learned about Mike’s last promotion.) Sky writing?

May the force be with you. You have the power. Use it wisely.
