Honor bestowed upon me! Wow!

[Pony Racer]

Dear Sir, I have the honor to relay that my bosses above me have recommended that I be promoted early and "deep selected"
for O-6.

I can tell you Sir, that this honor would not have been possible without my senior enlisted keeping me out of trouble and my mid grade enlisted executing some very difficult operations both in Search and Rescue and Law Enforcement. My junior officers have also served with distinction. I have really just been a good coordinator and communicator.

Panels and such will still have to select; but to get the recommednation 2-2.5 years early was quite the honor!

Congratulations!  I served as one of those NCO's in the USAF for 20 years. So now I decided to play a General in retirement.
