Hey guys. Just wanted to say that I made the cutoff points this month for E-5 in the Army.  I'll be pinned Sergeant next week, probably Friday because the bulk of my company won't be at work on Thursday (Promotions usually take place on the first of the month). This is a long time coming for me, and the points finally dropped to pick some of us up for promotion.

That's even funnier since I was planning on saying Ding when I get I pinned, sinec I know a few others in my Company play WoW.

WTF

What's this referencing?

You're welcome. Just doing my job. Hopefully in another 6 months I'll get recommended for the E-6 board.

Grats Bryan!! Mom was all excited the other day to tell me about it.

I think that ch0wdah's WTF is cause lots of people say WTF after someone dings, but maybe I'm wrong.

Hey, did you get the package I sent you guys? And is your new PC still going all blue-screen crazy?

Aw, I get it now. lol.

And yes, Jess, we got the package and Jen is working on the cross stitch already. I might help out a bit, too. Maybe each of us doing half. And it hasn't BSOD'ed in a bit, but I've been careful with it lately, as well.

The WTF after someone dings was started with the legendary race to 60 between Stugots and Nightstalker.  It was mostly used by Night.  :P

edit; and grats :D

Congrats!

When I make E-5 I won't be able to give the "I'm just an airman" line anymore...so I better live up the next year or so before that happens.   ;)

I haven't been able to pull the I'm just a Specialist line for a while since I've been promotable for almost 2 years and treated like I should act like an NCO.

Anyway, finally got pinned on Friday, and got to drop someone because I can. Don't worry, he only did 1 push-up, so I wasn't abusing the power.

It was more like "Ha ha drop... okay, recover."

As one of my church buddies who is also a contractor at my work said, I traded my Sham Shield in for the Oh Shit Umbrella.
