DAMN!!!! I never thought it would make it on here.

Thanks to all for the well wishes. All I can say is that after 13 years I finally get the coveted Gunnery Sergeant or "Da Gunny" chevrons. Almost got a lil choked up during the ceremony as well.

Again thanks to all and hopefully I should have pics up by tomorrow.
