I got promoted today!

Recieved a present from milady today, day before I left. Promised her I wouldn't open it until the 10th (my b-day).

Off to Romania (yes, I can tell you now) to rock 'em as only I can...

Be back in a month, check in when I can, y'all...

My mother's from Romania. We spent many a Summer witnessing Communism first hand. Good times, good times.

Safe travels Domnul tstone. If you are invited to a Romanian's home, bring flowers, chocolates, or imported liquor. All three and you stay for breakfast. :wink: N

My grandfather died in Romania, heart attack from natural causes. It was 1973, and his church singing group was touring the Eastern Bloc. Pretty cool for small-town Americans who never left home before.

The commies didn't give the body back until a month later, and when they did, the coffin was permanently sealed. We really have no way of knowing if the guy we buried was my grandfather.

Not that this has anything to do with your post. Best of luck!

Sorry to hear that, Bark. It sounds like he was having fun when he went, though. There's worse ways.

Best of luck, T. And listen to Kaeos. They stabbed Ceasar in the back.

He was at a beach on the Black Sea. His last words were commenting on how beautiful the day was, and then . . . gone.

Definitely worse ways to go.

I got promoted today!


Congrats, stoneman! So, are you at the rank of corporal now?

I was a corporal in the Royal Canadian Air Cadets when I was a teenager. And I'm sure we're all impressed by that.

I made Captain of the Enterprise while in the service of Star Fleet years ago . . . in my delusional mind. :D

Take some at a beach on the Black Sea, please. I'm curious as to what it looks like.

Just Captain? I was a Fleet Admiral. :lol:

I made Admiral, but I got demoted. I'm not a desk jockey. I'm a daring commander of men and women in the field.

Enjoy your desk job, sir. :anismirk:

I'm a Specialist. Same pay grade as Corporal, but not NCO authority. Next step, Sergeant.
