Great News!

On Saturday we got some exciting news, Patrick got promoted to Lt. Col. These two Col's showed up on our doorstep on Sat...and its not that often they show up in uniform unless something tragic has happened. They came to personally tell Patrick about his promotion since it has been a long hard road to get there. All three of these officers were promoted "above the zone"....Most promotions occur In-the-Zone. Those not selected In-the-Zone have one more chance, a year later -- Above-the-Zone (the selection rate for Above-the-Zone is *extremely small* -- around 3 percent)
