                        As of 1 OCT, the powers that be have seen fit to promote me to the grade of Major in the US Army. Pull up to the bar, I'm buying.

                        When I think of the rank of major I think of Major's Burns and Houlihan of M*A*S*H. I'm sure you'll carry on in the finest of traditions.

                        Seriously...congratulations on your promotion! Can Lt. Colonel be far off?

                        Well done and as you were! Or carry on! Or drinks on Gino!!!

                        Congratulations, HeavyArty, Sir! A good Marine never turns down a free drink, certainly not for such an occasion as this.
                        A day in the Corps is like a day on the farm; every meal is a banquet, every paycheck a fortune, every formation a parade... The Marine Corps is a department of the Navy? Yeah...The Men's Department.

                        I'll buy and drink with a good NCO any day.

                        Congrats from an old Viet Nam vet who also managed to make it to the exalted rank of major (Air Force). Unfortunately, I only got to bask in my newly acquired prestige for a short while. A few months after I started sporting my gold oak leaves, I was assigned to a higher headquarters where majors were mostly used as coffee gofers for generals.
                        However, I'm happy to report that my promotion party (which was held in the NCO club) was a real blowout!
                        Drink one for me.

                        Congratulations!!! I would have to agree with feldgrau23. Artillery Punch is the only way to go!

                        Still "playing" in the Sand Box? Or do they allow Field Grades to play in the sand?Bow [bow]

                        Congratulations !!!

                        You do realize you have achieved the most useless rank in the US Army, unless you are in a Bn S-3 or Bn XO slot ?? Other than that, you can only be some staff puke and be forced to spend 9 months at Ft Leavenworth for CGSC.

                        Cheer up, it only hurts for what now, 5-6 years?, then you'll make LTC and be respected & useful again. <grin>

                        Been there, done that, got the t-shirt .... and believe me, go for both the S-3 and XO slots -- great training & fun !!!

                        Again, congrats & Guinness will do fine ...
