As of 11 this morning, Isrowei is now a captain! Here are a handful of pics I took, although they're not all that good because I had at least one kid on my hip at any given time during the ceremony. Oh well, what are you gonna do. There are none of me pinning him because the camera was in my pocket while I did it, but maybe we'll come across some later on when he gets pics from the guys in his shop.

Edited to add: Evidently I can only post 3 images per message, so I'll post 3 here then make an album in my profile with the rest:

Last pic as a 1stLt:

Actually, I guess I can just reply to my own thread with other pics. Then everyone can see them in one place, & it's easier than making an album.

And last but not least, a truly lousy picture of our family where we all look goofy & the kids aren't smiling. lol

LtCol Richardson. I don't know his first name, but Isrowei might. He just arrived at MCAS Beaufort, & since Isrowei was in Brazil for a while, they haven't worked together much yet.

Thought he looked familiar. I worked with him at MarForCom. He was one of our Air Officers. He is a good officer. Very approachable.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. This was a busy day, promotion aside. Glad to have a chance to catch my breath.

I'll be planning the wetdown for the end of the month. If anyone is in/near Beaufort, give a shout... !

I'm tentatively thinking the 28th right now. I'll keep you posted as I have to resolve a few schedules with some folks around here for the best time.

And Wookie... If I put that as my avatar, I lose my Captain's bars. I don't want to sound vain, but I just got them... let me enjoy them at least a few days before I think about covering them?

Even if it is my motivated devil kitty... :banana:

Congratulations Captain!!

It is always good to see good men get promoted. Now, the new education starts as a Captain of Marines . That is where the Buck stops at the Company level.You now have responsibility for about 100 + marines and their families.
I am confident that you will take this responsibility serious and do a great job. Looking at your wife in the pictures, she looks like a great person and i am sure she will keep you focused on the families and Marines.

Congratulations!!!!

Congratulations, Captain!!! You've attained the best rank in the Corps, and after you've commanded your Infantry Company, it will be all down hill until the day when you are chosen for Battalion Command. Enjoy your "Railroad Tracks" while you can. All the really good duty in the Corps is reserved for Captains. It don't get any better than where you are right now. Semper Fidelis, Sully (DOR as Captain 25Jul52)

Thank you Sir, and Marines, I appreciate and am humbled by all the comments and well wishes. It's a good feeling to know that here on these boards are fellow brothers and sisters who, regardless of the time we spent, when and where it was spent, and what we individually may have added to the overall effort, we will always be forever linked across time and space as those who have earned the title: United States Marine.

And a close second to that is knowing that my family that I love so much will always be cared for and supported by these same brothers and sisters if I should ever face misfortune.

It's amazing, it really is. As a guy who gets to talk about Marines for a living, it never fails to leave me groping for the right words to describe just how incredible the Marine Corps really is.

You honor me with your friendship and for that I am grateful. Thank you all.

Nope, it sure wasn't. But, I learned how to make a Caipirinha.. and that was worth at least half of Southern Exchange for! Ok, maybe not the Oak Hill part.. but the rest of it :)

Seriously though, good to have someone else here who was there! It's a different life down there for sure.

Our first night out on town I had 8 caipirinhas. I was feeling a little tipsy but not bad. I drank half of number 9 and I damn near fell over. That **** hits you like a mack truck.

On our racks when we first moved in were cans of "51" cachaça. Apparently some didn't want them, so I ended up taking 4 cans home. I made my first caipirinha today, and it sucked. I've got to find a better sugar and some better limes. I've also read that "51" is the on the bottom end, I've got to look for something better around here.
