Well, I have been waiting all week to find out the results of my promotion test to E-6 (TSgt), and today I finally found out! I got promoted!! Needless to say I am pretty flabbergasted! I honestly didn't think I made it, but I guess all that studying I did the few days before really paid off! I only made it by 2 pts, but it doesn't matter because I passed! This was only my 2nd time testing for Tech so I feel great! The average is much higher. The average to make TSgt is about 11-12 years...but I made it at the end of my 8th! So, even though I was slow to pick up SSgt (mainly due to apathy) looks like I made up for it here and I am still ahead of the curve!!
Unfortunately, I won't sew on till next year around this time. My line number is 6811, which has nothing to do with my score, but just my time in service/time in grade. The way I am looking at it though, the hard part is out of the way! Now I just have to sit back, and wait for my line number to come up!
A bunch of us are going out to dinner to celebrate at this amazing Korean restaurant in Hachinohe. Patty and I are both wicked excited! Some of the best food ever. And there will probably be much drinking to go along with the food aswell...hey..it's a celebration!
Anyways, I got promoted. I am happy. That is all!
Congratulations TSgt!! I'm so so proud of you my love!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, Corey - first college bound, and now this! I looked this up on the Internet to understand a little more about Air Force ranks - found your name posted at airforcetimes.com. This is quite an accomplishment, I see. Patty seems very proud of you! Heartiest congratulations.

PS I like your new blog!
Congratulations! Soon you'll be running the organization and I can say I knew you back when you were a mere TSgt.
