Double Congrats to you! Looking sharp. :pat:

Congrats bro! on both accounts!

congrats on the commissioning and graduation

[No Worries]

Congrats. When I was drafted, I did real good on the tests. They offered me a job as a Warrant Officer helicopter pilot. "Hell yes" I said until I found out I would have to stay in for three years instead of two. But I was young and stupid, and had other plans. Thirty-nine years later, I still wonder what my life would have been like if I had accepted.
