He made Sergeant First Class!!!

It has been a long wait but Court finally got promoted to Sergeant First Class. This is the first time I have actually been to the ceremony. Seems like before we were apart or something else was going on.
Here we are standing up front while someone was reading something. Court had SGM Velez and me pin him. It was really nice to get to do that.

Here he is after with LTC Baltich with his certificate.

And here Court is again with his LTC and SGM.
He gave a short speech...nothing fancy.
And then....everyone had a little fun. The backs were not on his pins yet. I guess it is tradition to hit the new pins and try and draw a little blood. I don't have a picture but when he was standing up front everyone walked by to congratulate him and give him a nice few pats. Above is SFC Rippstine getting him good... *insert evil laugh here*


After that Court got the backs to his new rank and put them on.

Rippstine was the only one to get him good enough to draw blood.

Here Court was on Friday. They had a class A inspection. He always looks so good in his uniform.
