Congratulations and now I feel older

Older son pins on gold oak leaves as a Lieutenant Commander.

Gee, it seems like yesterday when my father pinned on gold oak leaves as an Air Force major and only shortly after that I was wearing the 2 1/2 stripes myself.

Tempus fugit.

  1. I imagine you feel about like I did when it dawned on me that the Warrant Officer and Senior Chief who worked for me were in Kindergarten when I joined the service and everyone else in the Division hadn't even been born yet. Of course that happened almost 25 years ago. :-)
