    Hurray - I am a major

    So I went to do some reserve service and it turns out it was time for a promotion.
    I am now a major!

    Unless theres a lieutenant colonel or above, I am the highest ranking member here.You may salute me on your way out.

    Awesome! Now you can only be killed by the Marshal, the General, and the Colonel. Or by bombs.

    Ben Sonnes wins the internet... or whatever it is you're supposed to say, when someone makes a good funny.

    (I'm just a sargeant... but the enlisted men don't hate me as much as you!)

    Congratulations! For what it's worth, I've always considered Major to be the coolest sounding of the officer ranks.

    Also, please start wearing an eyepatch.

    Congrats sir! Nothing quite like a promotion, at Christmas no less, to set next year off right.

    I knew a Czech woman police officer who was mightily pissed off when they introduced female versions of the ranks (which they have for most jobs) and she became a Majorka.

    He can only kill the Marshall though.

    Quick fun fact: I created a floating, waterproof Stratego board so I can play in the hot tub. I'm not making that up, it's true. :)

    You are welcome to come over anytime and play. You have to leave the bubbles off or the whole thing goes in the drink, but the squares are much bigger than normal so it's not as cramped.

    I keep reading and re-reading that sentence, and I swear you're right on the verge of saying something suggestive!

    Oh, and before we completely lose track, congrats again, marxeil!

    I have a good buddy in the reserves who got promoted to Major last year. His last name is Brown.

    When I saw him a couple months ago, I shoved him really hard.
    "What was that for?"
    "I had to push major brown."

    Hmmm, I know at least 4 major's who are gamers but no one who is a gamer above the rank of major. Career limiting hobby perhaps?

    I'd prefer Shin-Bet over Mossad, personally.


    Grats, marxeil. :)

    Bet it has more to do with age.

    Also, grats on not being a minor anymore!

    Congratulations on the promotion. I thought the thread title was a messed up attempt at showing off your University major at first.

    Oh, and welcome to the major leagues.
