I am anxious to update on the rest of our vacation travels and Kevin's leave time but first I had to share about our exciting day. Kevin was promoted to 1LT today! His mom, me and our girls were able to go to the hospital for his promotion and I was able to "pin" his new rank. No more butter bar!!!
Col Lomax, the head of nursing for the 86 CSH (Kevin's unit) came to do his promotion and said some really awesome things about Kevin. He bragged that Kevin functioned above his rank and had been very valuable for his military and nursing knowledge. He also shared that Kevin was one of a few nurses chosen to attend a special course last month and that they will be relying on him to teach and train the other nurses and medics while deployed.
We are so proud to be a military family and look forward to many more promotions in the years to come. Love you Kevin!!!!
After the promotion was over we were able to get a family picture. Poor Emma cried through most of it because she was afraid she was there to get a shot :)
