I'm Getting Promoted!

[Oderus Urungus]

Congrats man. Promotions are nice because they = pay raise.

[Mr.X]

that's cool, does that mean more arse?

Congratulations and thank you.

Thanks, fellas.

OneRep, the wet down I think is going to be Friday or Saturday. 7 of us are getting promoted. I quit regular drinking, but a beer or 2 is in order.

Thor, I have no intentions of letting it go to my head completely. I finally get to voice my views and tell the dumb Cpls to shut the fuck up.

Crak, hell yeah a pay raise indeed. I go from 2 year E-3 bracket to 3 year E-4 and collect my clothing allowance this month.

Mr. X, I sure hope it means more arse. Wearing the uniform I get the extra stripe on the chevrons, the blood stripe on the Blue's trousers, and the sword. Chicks love the sword.
