Yes they let old farts like me become LTs. It's not a bad thing, I'm already grumpy and hard to please, and can subsist on little sleep and coffee for long periods of time.

In all seriousness, the WA ANG is a great place to kick your career back off, they love former active duty from any branch.

Damn LT those butter bars are blinding. Congrats Sir.

[Guntrader]

Congrats LT. Former USCG?

[oldkim]

Nice!

My dream was to be commissioned. I got that in 1998. Went from E-5 promotable sitting in a E-7 slot to a O-1 2LT

So wear them proudly sir! Well done!

Four ribbons? That's so cute.

Four ribbons? That's so cute.

I guarantee I have the smallest stack of anyone serving with 2 National Defense Medals. Served in 1st Civ Div for a long time before getting back in. Even better, my one USMC deployment doesn't qualify for anything in the Army.

There are a couple state medals I qualify for but I don't have a clue how to source them. Not a big deal.

Congratulations! Very nice picture. Thank you for your service.

From the title I was worried you might have signed up for the Hillary 2020 campaign. Or bought a Hi-Point pistol...

I thought you bought a Glock.
