After over 2 years of trying to get promoted my Husband is FINALLY a SGT! I say it like that because in Dec of 08 he re-enlisted and changed his MOS. He was weeks away from being sent to the board to be promoted. He was unaware that he was about to be sent to the board and once they found out he re-enlisted for a different MOS they took his name off the list. Well once he finished school and got to his new base he realized that it would be a long and hard road to be able to be sent to the board. He took classes and excelled at everything he did and finally after over a year they sent him to the board. After he passed the board it was all on him to get promoted. His points were just so ridiciously high, it was like looking at an impossible task. Well 7 months after going to the board he reached his points and got promoted this past week. So as you can see it has been a long long long road and all his hard work has paid off. So I wanted to do something special to make all his hard work seem like it was worth it. Of course he gets promoted only days after deploying. So it kind of makes spoiling him a little hard. But I did the best I could with his box. It kind of looks like it vomitted up red, white and blue but you get the idea.
