GO NAVY!

Here's to more responsibility and fewer people to answer to, but more importantly a few extra dollars every paycheck. This is the kind of deal that makes people consider re-enlisting. E-5 in less than 3 years? Not unheard of, but definitely above the standard rate of advancement.





Here's a picture of me with the CO of the ship. After shaking my hand he said "Petty Officer Hanson, congratulations on your advancement. I'm proud of you." Though I know he couldn't care less whether or not I ever get promoted, I suppose he had to say something nice. If I was him I would've probably said something like, "Hey Hanson good job. You know what they say... 'Two chevrons are better than one!"
