  • yea I will still get that if it is there.

    “What Can BROWN Do For You!” Record for the year. 9-7 + or - 1 and not being swept by any team in the division.

  • Congratulations, Plum. How long till you make Sergeant Major of the Army?

  • Social Security will be there.....or some equitable difference.....it isn't going to just close up.

    Congrats on the second lower stripe.

    Who knows....you may make Master before you retire in three years....(if you do retire then)

    I assume you joined when you were 19 or so....20 puts you right at 40....that is usually a good jumping off point for enlisted.....but...jumping at 50 isn't bad either...just have to weigh the possible career progression with the possible pension.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • Congrats Plum..........and thank you for your service .

  • well lets just say that the tribe will win the penant, the cavs the championship, the browns the super bowl, the bucks the national championship before I make CSM of the Army.

    this will probably be my highest rank but I am good with that, SFC is a good career for my MOS, not everyone can be MSG/1SG or SGM/CSM.

  • Thanks all for the kind words first time I can say that I am proud of a promotion as weird as that my sound, guess cause it was done through a paper telling of me, and not by the good ol boy system, cause I did not know any of the board members who picked the promotee's from the non promotee's.

    To me that is a harder promotion then one where you go before people how know you.

    That is what i was looking for and couldn't recall the term.....lol.

    It is a different army than when i was in, but if the plan is 20, many times, if you have been a good egg and have the right major pumping the base colonel, it isn't out of the question you make master in the next couple of years....though that may be a means to get you to stick around and re-up.

    I agree....like anything, you need some serious pull once you start getting to master...that has to be some young officer you helped out after he was fresh out of West Point and somehow he pulled you along or by luck he is now sitting there as your base Colonel and finally pulls you to CSM once he gets a star .

    There is something to be said for coattails.

  • CONGRATS, PLUM ! THANKS for your SERVICE !

    I hope the current "president" doesn't slash your military retirement like Jimmy Carter did.

    That's what happened to my cousin, before he retired...

  • congrats plum and more importantly thank you.
