I was promoted today...Ironic if you put into account my last post. I'm now a Specialist in the U.S. Army. Two months earlier than I had anticipated but I'm not complaining.
It means a lot of things; I am now a little more accountable for my general conduct on a daily basis, I'm one step closer to becoming a Non-commissioned officer, and I got a significant raise. Perhaps the most important actually is the fact that someone felt that I have potential. That means to me that 
I can't prove their faith to be misplaced.
I don't know what it is about me but since I can remember, particularly in the military, I've always felt that when someone puts a little bit of trust in me I feel this nagging pull to perform. Today was a pleasent suprise.

So on your playlist you have Hello DOlly- lol its been a long time since I have seen that show. One of MY ALL TIME favorites. I used to watch that movie all the time when I was really young. I new every word to those songs. listening to that song took me back- thanks! not very many people I have come across know that show? did you grow up with it, or was it an excaliber performance or something? :)
I plead the fif on the grounds that it might incriminate me.
Good jorb! You make our nation proud fella!
