On July 10th, Evan was officially promoted to Captain. We had heard it was going to be late, especially since one of his co-workers, who was ahead of him 3 months for promotion, wasn't promoted until 6 weeks or so after he was scheduled to due to some delay in paperwork or whatever. Evan's was only a day behind, so he was really lucky! When he found out, Evan told his boss that Jana and Keith were coming to town to visit for a week, so his office had a formal ceremony of the pinning ceremony. We'd always planned on having Elisabeth participate in the ceremony, but now his parents would get to watch! On Monday, the 13th, we all went to the base for the ceremony. Elisabeth was very excited and nervous about pinning the Captain bars to Evan's hat. He practiced with her the night before, and she did a really good job when it was time.
Here's Julia walking into the courtroom. She's getting really good at walking while holding someone's hand, but still isn't too keen about trying it solo yet.
Where we sat.
That's Evan's Baby JAG sippy cup the guys in his office gave him his first week. :)
Someone's excited!
Evan's boss and I pinned the Captain bars to his jacket, while Ebeth worked on his hat.
Evan surprised his parents by asking them to put his new shoulder boards on his shirt.
Taking the oath as a Captain.
How many times did I say "Captain" in this blog? A cash** prize for those who get it right!!!
**by "cash prize", I mean an email saying you are correct.
