    Default Promotion in Iraq!!!

    So two months ago I passed the soldier of the month board, and the following month I passed the promotion board. And I just found out next month I'll be getting pinned corporal!! Haha not really sure why I started this thread I'm just so excited I feel like telling the whole world haha. I can't wait to make points now, I just recently maxed my correspondence course hours, and I'm in process of getting my awards from this deployment put on my ERB for points!! Pls keep your fingers crossed for me that points drop a little bit next month for 19 deltas haha.

    I'm quite certain our young Scout was talking about attending the Soldier of the Month and Promotion Boards in his FRACUs instead of having to put his Army Service Uniform or Class 'A' Service Uniform together...
