Today Clayton was meritoriously (deserving reward for excellence, or as Clayton would say "because I'm Shit HOT.") promoted from corporal to Sergeant in the United States Marine Corps. Greyson and I attended the "ceremony" and I was able (and honored) to pin Clayton's Sgt. chevrons on his cammies. I am so proud of Clayton for this achievement - Sgt. in 2 years 8 months. He is making the most of his time in the USMC and I hope that it pays off (in terms of employment) once he gets out of the military next December. I'm incredibly lucky to have a man that I can be proud of...one who goes to work everyday at a job he doesn't necessarily like so that he can take care of his family. Congratulations Clayton! I love you!

Waiting patiently for the GySgt to call me up.

Time to put on the Sgt. chevrons. Have to make sure they're put on correctly.
