The Weps on Brian’s boat along with two JOs were promoted to their next ranks. Whenever that happens you have a small gathering to celebrate and a promotion cemermony. They decided to go to Foster’s point on Hickham for it, which turns out has a very picturesque tree to photograph. However, nearby a wedding was being celebrated, so we chose to do it across the bay.
The Captain recites a recommittal to serve the USA statement that the men all agree to.
The weps’ wife moved back to CT, so the XO facetime’d with her so she could experience it.
The captain or a significant other will change the designation on your uniform.
Traditionally, the men getting promoted pay for the alcohol for the party to celebrate. Also traditionally, they spend the amount of one month’s of the difference of promotion income, which ends up being a lot and a crazy party… we haven’t done one of those yet.
If all goes well, Brian will promote in the fall.
What a crew!
