Default My son to become an NCO
So, my son Brandon is a 35F in the Army, Military Intelligence. I know, I know... SMH

He made the cut off for E-5 about 2 months ago, finished PLC 2 weeks ago(PLDC for us older vets) and today was notified that his effective promotion date will be 4/1/20.

I was supposed to fly out to Ft. Riley and attend the promotion ceremony, we had word a few weeks ago that he was probably going to get pinned on either 3/31 or 4/1. Well, unfortunately, with the SIP, that's not going to happen.

Still over the moon happy for his azz. He was trying to beat my TIS to make E-5 of 3.5 years and missed the mark by about 6 months. I said now he can try to beat me for E-6 in 6. I never got pinned but according to my DD-214 I did. LMAO

Something else kinda cool about him getting pinned on 4/1 is that was the day I was pinned with my stripes 26 years ago.

Thanks for reading.
