Proud Promotion Announcement
 
On son Jeff was promoted to Brigadier General. The DoD made the announcement public today. Next stop...Afghanistan!

A few months ago I commented how difficult is was to sneak in an RV flight or two with our son. Jeff's last flight with me was in our RV-8 back in 2012. I've owned the -12 for 5 years. On Jeff's last visit, the -12 was down for SB repairs. I am beginning to think maybe the time is right for me to trade in the airplane hobby.

Regards,
Tom

Congratulations
 
In these days of social media where people post pictures of their meals and other "look at me" stuff, it's mostly annoying. For this and other reasons, I have no social media presence.

That said, thank you very much for sharing this. This is a real and rare accomplishment. I can't imagine how proud you must be. I wish him a successful deployment and a safe return. Please pass along my gratitude for his service.
