If he was a 2nd Lt in 1990 then that was 14 years ago. I believe I was in 16 years when I was promoted to LtCol, so he is nearly ready for that rank... I think you said in April? Congrats to him! Well done!
Thank you - I will tell him. Yes, April. His battalion is activated January 4, but they won't necessarily be shipping over there right away. He said there is already a Lt. Colonel with his unit right now, so he may or may not be going to Iraq. If not Iraq, somewhere nearby.
