Carol's promotion ceremony

Earlier this year, I visited Buckley Air Force Base...

to attend Carol's promotion ceremony... 

from Staff Sergeant to Technical Sergeant. 

Carol's sister, Christine, came, too, and so did her parents, Chuck and Pat. 

I had never attended a promotion ceremony, but I was pleased to learn that it was much shorter and livelier than a graduation.

Fight song! 

It ended with hugs, 

handshakes... 

and congratulations for promoted.

Then we took family... 

and best friends photos...

before digging in to that cake!
