I promoted this last weekend after 1.5 years as a 2nd Lt in the Air Force. Usually it takes 2 years, but since I commissioned but didn't actually go on active duty for almost a year, the AF cut us a break and promoted me this time 6 months early. In all reality making 1st Lt isn't that big of a deal. You're still a Lt, bright-eyed, new just slightly seasoned. The only real big deal is the awesome raise that comes with it! My unit did a little ceremony for me and thankfully my husband was there to pin my new rank on. I think it's just awesome that's he been there from the very beginning of my military career and continues to stick by my side. I'm a lucky girl!
Hello new Lt status!
This is from when I first pinned on butter bars...

Time, the base, the rank may all change but as long as this guy continues to stand by my side then that's all I'll ever need.
