Tee hee: gramma just gave h a promotion

H's promotion board meets this year with him pinning on in over a year (if selected). I told gramma about this general plan. Well, a month ago she sent us a check to get champagne to celebrate our new home and his promotion. That was funny enough.

We just got an anniversary card addressed to new rank and me. Oh, gramma. Jumping the gun by at least 18 months.

Re: Tee hee: gramma just gave h a promotion

  • Grandmas are funny. Mine won't ever use my name anymore. It's always Mrs. Myhusbandsfullnamewithlastnamespelledwrong. My mom is always asking when H will move up in rank. She's afraid we're living on ramen and paycheck to paycheck. Some people just don't understand.

  • My grandmother was angry at me for not changing my name because she assumed I did and changed her will the week of the wedding. 

    Oh grandmothers.  

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • That's sweet that she was so excited for him.

  • Gramma knows to eat dessert first, it seems!

    When DH was a CPT, a friend of mine addressed cards to us as CPL and Mrs. I appreciate her effort, but it made me chuckle.

    So excited for a promotion he might not even get :)  Before you know it, gramma will think he's a colonel.

  • Gotta love the gram :-)

    DW's mom gave her a similar promotion.  Technically K is ABD, not PhD yet.  But when my MIL sends stuff she writes: Dr. K Lastname, PhD.  So not only is the title not legit yet but she puts both Dr. and PhD.
