congrats, bf!!

today is a big day for my little fiance...

he's getting promoted!!

i attached a picture for those of us who don't understand unless a picture or graph is shown.

so at boot camp, the recruits have to do the crucible.

when/if they finish the crucible, they are announced marines!

usually when they graduate from boot camp, they graduate as Privates.

since jon has a certain amount of college credits and is an eagle scout, he graduated as a Private First Class.

well, tomorrow he is getting promoted to Lance Corporal!

aka E-3.

if they do the regular promotion ceremony, they pin the new chevron and cross rifle pin onto his shirt without a back to the pin. they pat it down twice into his skin.

(he said that he will have layers on, so it won't penetrate his flesh...we'll see.)

i just wanted to tell the world because i am SO proud of him!!

and i love him so much!

so maybe you can congratulate him in your free time.

love you baybay.

ps. jon is asleep so he couldn't proof read this for me. 
all my marine facts are probably all wrong. sorry!:)
