Advancement

For those who don't know, the Navy has advancement exams twice a year for E-4, E-5, and E-6.  I am an E-6 and Hubs was an E-5.  See how I emphasize "was"?  The results came out today and we found out that he advanced and will be frocked soon.  Frocked means that he will wear the uniform of an E-6, but will not be paid as an E-6.  Since I promised, I can no longer nag him about his career (at least for the next few weeks, he's safe!).  For everyone out there with a Sailor that promoted or if you are the Sailor (were promoted), Congratulations!  Two great quotes for our future frocked petty officers:  

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power" - Abraham Lincoln

"With great power, comes great responsibility" - Uncle Ben in Spiderman (2002)
