A nice surprise for Younger Daughter

Younger Daughter had barely arrived at her overseas duty station in Europe when she received a call from the Base Commander.


She was informed she had achieved the rank of E6 (Petty Officer First Class). The Base Commander congratulated her, then passed the phone to the Base Operations Officer and the Base Executive Officer, who also offered their congratulations.

Not a bad advancement for five and a half years in the Navy!

  2. That's great! When I was in the Air Force it typically took someone 9-12 years to make E6. She's a fast burner!

  6. Don - Much as I believe my daughter is exemplary, I imagine the fact that the military in general is hemorrhaging higher ranked enlisted personnel had something to do with this. Still, take it as a win!

  8. As an Army Vet myself, making E6 in 5 years is a feat. Congrats to Younger Daughter. With this kind of work ethic, she could make the Navy a career, and should.
