I have a video of him being promoted to Corporal (last time he was in Okinawa) and it was a formal ceremony. So they didn't do it then. No telling what happened later that night. _____________ "I enter a swamp as a sacred place—a sanctum sanctorum. There is the strength—the marrow of Nature." - Henry David Thoreau | |||

Boot camp to sergeant is three years? I don't know how the promotion timing works in the Marines, but that sounds impressive. | |||

Well Done! E5 in 3 is danged impressive! I'm retired Navy (I may have mentioned that...) and my grandson is now a (medically) retired Marine. Talking with him, I was amazed at the difference in levels of responsibility related to paygrade between Marines and Sailors. As a Sergeant/E5, he was tasked with responsibilities in terms of personnel I didn't see until I was a senior E6 or even a junior E7 in the Navy. Be careful when following the masses.

I attained E5 (Navy) in about the same elapsed time, but I think it's a more impressive achievement in the Marines than it is in the Navy. My advancement was basically due to technical ability (missile systems -- Regulus); I really did not have any significant duties in terms of personnel, "military stuff," etc. My job was to insure that the birds were ready to launch when needed, I was a systems nerd or maybe a geek, I'm not quite sure what the difference is. הרחפת שלי מלאה בצלופחים | |||

A smart and smart looking young man. I wouldn't cross him. The uniform and stripes suit him well. Congratulations to him for his hard work and you for doing the hard work of raising him to be a fine man. _________________________ An unarmed man can only flee from evil and evil is not overcome by fleeing from it. - Col Jeff Cooper NRA Life Member Long Live the Super Thirty-Eight | |||

Congratulations and Semper Fidelis! I loved the rank of Sgt. I'm my opinion, probably one of the best ranks in the Marine Corps. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.

Congrats, and no offense to the other people in that first picture, but just by looking at it you can immediately pick out which one would be the future Sgt. | |||

Precisely. I made E4 in under a year while I was still in school due entirely to grades/technical ability. Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent. | |||

Excellent!!!! Please convey my congratulations and thanks to your son!
