My husband, Chris, was promoted to Sergeant in the Army this summer. It was an honor to be able to be at his ceremony. I couldn't be more proud of this man. He works hard every single day to be the best that he can be at his job, so it was nice to see him get the recognition for it.
He postponed his 'pinning' ceremony for a month in order to have his mentor and friend, Cory Yates, do the honors. They were deployed together to Iraq last year and became good friends.

| Initiating begins by others taking turns punching you in the chest for good luck. |

| Sgt Yates couldn't wait for his turn to come around. |
 |
| Wifey's turn to initiate. This should be good! |
