Well, it's officially unofficial: I am now a Staff Sergeant. Sort of.

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…

Congrats: What service?

I have placed my congratulations in a spoiler box, which you may reveal at the appropriate time.

Congratulations!

Congrats.

Askeptic- SGT (E-5) USARMY 82nd Airborne (1987-1991)

Serious congradulations!

YAY!
::::::Throws Confetti:::::::::::::::::::

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.

Congrats to both of you, SSgt Doors and SGT Nenno!
