Be Afraid

For those of my readers who still believe in the government, I've finally got proof positive that the government can't be trusted to run anything: the 2003 U.S. Army Reserve Major's promotion list. You'll notice that the government has decided to promote me to Major...how can you possibly trust that kind of organization?

Congratulations!

You've come a long way from re-assembling phones in the science library. If only Tania could see you now...

Actually, you'd be surprised how much being a Major involves re-assembling phones. I'm pretty sure that is why they promoted him.

For a good look at being a Major and re-assembling phones, I'd recommend the movie - We Were Soldiers.

Congratulations! And for those with any lingering doubts - look down in the W's. They must be insane to promote us both...

That was the second name I checked...
congratulations, Dave. But shouldn't you be on your honeymoon still?

A Major? Does that mean I have to salute everytime I visit your site? No more bad mouthing you? No more mockery? Just great. Man, there goes my fun..........

Oh, and sometimes, despite themselves, government can still do something right. Congratulations!

Now, if you would just work for a living and zip your pants up the front like inlisted men......

Dave,

Congrats to you too - for both the promotion and the wedding!

Nobody in the Army zips their pants up the front, Rook...we all wear button flies.

Congrats Major.

I'm sure your uniform looks a lot better with a pair of gold oak leaves. :-)
