Getting Pinned

I know I have a lot to catch up on but I wanted to get this one out right away. Today Jesse got pinned. What does that mean you ask.....well, Jesse got his E2 rank back on May 1, but wasn't able to wear his rank until he was pinned. Today was the pinning ceremony where everyone in the unit that was getting promoted was pinned. Jesse's rank will actually be active as they state it, June 1.

All the promotables all lined up

The kids enjoyed seeing their daddy at work. They even shouted out with all the soldiers. They were able to see what their dad will be driving too.

Our kids falling in (no not really, just trying to stand on the others shadow)


Jesse was dismissed and we all went back home to have breakfast (again). If we had known he would be dismissed we would have all gone in one car. Oh well. Leaving a fueler came in. Of course the kids liked that too.
