Dateline: Home Study

The selection list for Commander came out today and I was on it! Needless to say I was happy and relieved. There are other outstanding officers I know who were not on the list which tempered my joy somewhat but I am glad the wait is over.

I owe this one to a great many people. This is not something I did by myself, I had the helo of many people. From my family who took up the slack while I was gone doing what I do, to my civilian colleagues who worked extra hard while I was on AT on at drill or came in and atteneded a meeting for me, to the selection board who was kind enough to chose me. But I owe much of this to the Enlisted I have commanded over the years. They made me look good to the Board and I owe them for that. I’ll have a cake at our next drill to thank them but I can never repay them for this.
