    Well it's official... I made it!

    All,

    This will probably make a whole lot more sense to the military (and especially the Navy Folk), but I have been officially authorized to wear the Command Senior Chief Breast Insignia as the:

    Command Senior Chief of the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense, Colorado Springs!

    This is actually something that long term enlisted strive for their entire and career represents the highest position an enlisted member can hold at any given Command. I can still get promoted only once more but this is a very significant accomplishment.

    I am honored to have been given the chance to share a piece of the command along side the Commanding Officer... now time turn two and get to work!

    Check out my new avatar!

    Dewey, I'm assuming that's comparable to the Sergeant Major billet in a Marine Corps Regiment. Respectful congratulations to you from an old jarhead!
