Congratulations Major Gino! As a retired Lieutanant Commander, USN, I welcome you to the ranks of "Field Grade Officer".....for whatever it is worth. It's a raise in pay, no matter what else.
And you're on a different list for housing now, too.
Anyway, hoist a cold one for me, and a toast for all the O-4's past, present and future. And remember, artillery brings the battlefield dignity to what would be an otherwise bar room brawl (or at least, that's what I got from my Aussie arty officer classmate at CGSC - the best year of my life - HOOAH!).
