Can we make this the Official Unofficial E-5 Promotion thread? I just got promoted recently with a Date of Rank of Sep 1 2005. Funny thing is I have enough points to make SSG, I just need to wait to get enough time in rank as E-5 before I can go to that board too…
Congratulations SSG (E5) Doors!!!
-SGT (E5) Nenno
Pics of my pinning ceremony to follow…

So, does that mean you now have to wear an ugly hat and yell at people at 4:30 a.m.? 'cause that doesn’t seem like such a good deal.

Congrats!
BTW…the Army is the same way. I had to way almost two weeks before I pinned 1LT. My battalion XO told me if I showed up with 1LT on my collar she’d rip it off if I did it before the pinning ceremony. Luckily I was able to pin Captain on my date of rank.

That would be ‘wait’ not ‘way.’ That’ll teach me not to preview.

I hated having my Crow pinned on, I was on a Carrier and close to 1000’s friends and people I had never met before, punched the crow for 3rd class PO on. I think my arm went numb around the 600th pinning. Bad to get the Crow underway, too much time on peoples hands.
In one week, I got both my first stripe and my wings pinned on me. My could not move the left side of my body for a week.
Congratulations Staff Sergeant Doors.
