Northwest Fishing Reports

Well I found out today that I have (finally) been selected for promotion to E-5/Staff Sergeant. I'll admit, with 6 1/2 years in the Air Force I'm a little behind the curve but that's alright. I don't think I was ever really ready for it before.

Congrats to you Gotcha and Thanks for serving our country!!!

Congrats,..be safe!

Congratulations and thanks for keeping us safe!

Congradulations and a HEARTY THANK YOU for protecting our freedom.G-D Bless You and Keep You From Harms Way

Congrats man The worst part is waiting for DFAS to actually start paying you... My years as an E5 in that Navy were probably my most fun- enough rank to get out of some mundane work, but not enough to get harassed about making Chief by the E7's. I thought of it as the "stealth" rank although it really was the true working rank/backbone of the submarine force.

So... are you doing 8yrs or going for the whole enchilada? (once you hit your 3rd enlistment you might as well do the full twenty+)

Congratulations Gotcha, I was in the service about 22 years ago, and I understand that rank doesn't necisarrlily (sp?, ouch) come when you expect it, it depends on your MOS, (job). But going to E-5 is a big deal in the army. You are finally out of all the lousy details, and like you said not quite in position maybe of extreme scrutiny.
Stay well.

GO NAVY



:viking:

I was in the USNavy also,..80-84,..made 2 Wespac trips and E-5 in 4 years,..what was funny is I was a Boatswainsmate,..do you know how many of those there are,..OMG,..I was very suprised to make 2nd Class Petty Officer in 4 years,..unheard of but I guess my timing was right. I served on the USS Constellation and at the time it was the biggest Conventional Aircraft Carrier in the world,..in the early 80's the Goverment only had a couple of Nuclear Carriers in Operation,..now Conventional Carriers are all in mothballs,..I can see how making E-5 in any branch of service is important and hats off 2 you Gotcha for achieving that,..just watch your 6 bro and our Prayers will be with you and your family. Thank you and Fam-Bam for your service!

Congrats!

Thanks guys and thank YOU to everyone who served before me.

I should be sewing on my new stripes on October 1st. I've been waiting this long, what's one more month? lol

Congrats to you Gotcha. I to am hoping to become a Sergeant in the next few years as my unit expands. I have 20 years in police work and am ready for the added responsibility. Be safe bro and thanks to you and your guys for policing / defending our country. The protection you provide is paramount to our quality of life and the quality of life to millions around the world and for that I am extremely thankful and grateful. God Bless and be safe.

With that new promotion money, you can afford to pay someone to sew for you...or use a PFC!:cheers:

Yeah, I'm in the Air Force but the flying is only for officers. I'm enlisted.
