I'll be sure to pass on your congrats to both of them.
Lonesome at first asked me "why do you want to blog about it?"...my response was that I consider you as our friends, and that you have been incredibly supportive about all the crap that's been going on in the past few months...so now that we have some really good news I want to share it with you all. That, and I want to toot Lonesome's horn for a bit. He totally deserves this rank, he's been doing a TSgt's job for a while now...in fact, the CMsgt here gave him a set of TSgt stripes last year before he left and said that Lonesome would be needeing them. Looks like his prediction was correct.
And as for you, Lonesome Traveler, I know I wasn't supposed to let the cat out before Thursday, but shit happens. Fuss at me if you want to, I don't care. Just look at all the people here who left responses for you, and know that I'm not the only one who's proud of you.
A l'dodi vie dodi lei....ad infinitum (remember that?)
