    Congratulation on your promotion!

    Commander has a nice ring to it!

    Does this put you in line to be Exec or perhaps get your own ship?



    By the way, the Army and the Air Force call O-1 to O-3 "Company Grade" and O-4 to O-6 "Field Grade". Does the Navy make the same distinction and what are they called?

    Glad to hear the hard work paid off. People in the Navy always tell me that the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy. I always agree with them and say ya its called the mens department. All kidding aside, being in the armed forces and a divorced parent at the same time can be very tough. God Bless and Semper Fi!
