Got selected for promotion!!!

[Chad Hughes]

Great work Eddie! I haven't spent a bunch of time on the forum lately so I am a little late with my post. Sorry about that. Anyway, great work!

I never saw E-7. I left the Navy as an E-6 at 7 years. I had enough and wanted more money. LOL! I was one of the lucky ones to land a job that my service years all count towards retirement plus I was able to triple my income. Those days are gone. Ah the good old days!

Today it's either stay in and work your way up or get out and go back to school. The GI bill is much better today than when I got out though! They pretty much pay you to go to school. If you don't finish your degree while you're in, you have a lot of money waiting for you when you get out!

Anyway, have a great holiday weekend!

Best wishes!

Thanks man, my sister did the same. She did 7 years in the Navy and then got out to become a chef. LOL The new GI bill is actually even better because you can us the money to put your family members through college. Obviously it isn't some unreal amount, but its enough. Being active duty we get 100% tuition for school so now that I've got E-7 in the bag, I can concentrate on college.

Take care man and hope all is well!

[John_Nicholson]

Just noticed this Eddie...Congrats, but I think you should turn it down....I mean now that you are a board member of NADA you just won't have time for all of this work crap....LOL.

Good job.

[Eddie]

LOL, thanks guys! Yeah John....I was thinking about it but the raise was big enough, I figured I'd take the promotion and just work my A$$ off.


Take care!

Eddie

Eddie,

Congrats on the promotion! That's a great accomplishment. I know it was for me! Your responsibilities change and you truly get to influence the lives of more airmen and newly promoted junior NCO's.

Don't stop at E-7!!

I can tell you E-8 is even more sweet as I've had my stripes on for 2 years now.


Once again, welcome to the TOP 3 !!

Jack

[Eddie]

Thanks Jack! Really excited about being in the Top-3!!! I am definitely not going to stop at E-7. I have plenty of time left in the Air Force and now its time to concentrate on my CCAF and Course 14. Once I get those taken care of, the rest will follow.

Take care,

Eddie

hey,
i'm not to familiar with military ranking but seems like E-7 is a good thing so congrats buddy

[FarmerD]

Well Congrats Eddie ..... E-7 is a milestone for sure!! Especially for retirement (As I'm sure you know) I know I have not been posting here for very long, but have appreciated your help with sick fish. If you put half the effort into your Air Force career as you do your fish, you will make E-9 before retirement .... without a doubt.

I spent 18 years working full time for the National Guard here in California. Worked for a Mobilization and training facility as the Armament Shop Supervisor before I was kicked out on a medical disability two years ago. Military can be a great job if you make the most of it. Looks as if you are doing that, keep the promotions coming!

Lots of sewing ........... but pays!! HA ... Enjoy the new stripe!!

Congratulations Eddie , I know exactly what you mean I'm myself an E-6 (first class Petty Officer)in the Navy fifteen years veteran and for us an E-7 is call a Chief Petty Officer is a tremendous change from the color of uniform to a lot of perks but mostly is the biggest brother hood of the world.
By the way my son just become a senior cadet at guess what Air Force Academy so next year I will saluting him.
but enough about me. I don't want still your thunder. just want you to know
I understand what it means to you. what I'm sure is deserve promotion.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Sincerely
Julian.

[Eddie]

Thanks guys! Its huge for me, really. Its one of those major steps, moving into the Senior Enlisted Core. I am ecstatic!

Take care,

Eddie

[jaykne]

Hey Eddie congrates E-7 is a very big step, I made E-7 just before I was hurt and put out on 100% dissability. I made it in 12 years but took the hard road, and did allot of time in Submarines which helps allot, but not a fun life. Larry
