Selected For Major

Today I received word I was selected for the rank of Major.  Along with that, I was also selected to attend Air Command and Staff College (ACSC) in residence (some accomplish this online only).  Major is a little different in that I won't pin on the rank for another year or so.  The Air Force can only have so many Majors, so I have to wait until either enough retire or get promoted to Lt Colonel.  It was June of 2007 when I pinned on Captain rank while stationed at Aviano (click here).

As a Major, I'll continue to do my Weapons Officer job at Spangdahlem for the next three years.  After our assignment in Germany is when I would attend ACSC and then do a staff job (usuallt no flying) after.  It is also the point I could get out of the active duty Air Force and join the Air National Guard or Air Force Reserves either part or full time.  After I completed pilot training in January of 2005 I incurred a 10 year commitment to the active duty Air Force, which is up in 2015.  So, we'll see where God leads us in the future...more traveling and seeing the World in the meantime!
