I was promoted to Commander on 01JUL10. For those not familiar with navy ranks, that is a lieutenant colonel in the army or an 0 - 5. i am only 2 away from becoming an admiral.
The CO came over to the clinic and we had a small ceremony right there in our ER despite my protests. i would have preferred to just sign on the dotted line.
The oath
The uniform change out
The signing
The drinking
Bryan and I
The beer i have been drinking is Tusker. It is a fine Kenyan lager that is refreshing and cool and easy to drink. its great for the heat of djibouti. there is more flavor compared to one of the american big 3 lagers. hints of caramel and biscuits with a slight palate of hops. overall it has a grainy bite to it.
Congrats on the promotion Commander Spalding! Way to go. Enjoy that sun, you would be getting NO sunshine here in San Diego. Sadly, it's the sunless san diego summer!
