Promotions are in order...
 
Some of you may already know that I am a volunteer member of the Civil Air Patrol, the U.S. Air Force auxiliary. As of July 16, 2007, I traded the single silver bar of a first lieutenant and pinned on the silver 'railroad tracks' of a captain.

Farewell to the CAP LPA! (Lieutenant's Protective Association; the mythical - and unofficial - group of 2d and 1st Lts who protect their own from the brass.) And remember, no promotion is ever official unless it's been wetted down at the O-Club bar! :D

Present Arms!

Congratulations (again), Captain.

Order Arms!

Hitch a ride up to Buckley and we'll find a suitable place to wet down those tracks.

Congrats. I never knew the CAP had Officer Clubs. A lot of AF bases have recently consolidated the enlisted and officer clubs to just one bar.

No AF base near here in the DFW area, unless you go to Carswell -ahem, NAS Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base. Ant it's too far away from my CAP squadron.

Our idea of an 'officer's club' is hanging out for dinner and a beer after the meeting at Two Rows brewery and restaurant in Addison. Thus, we've unofficially dubbed Two Rows as the 'Addison Squadron Officer's Club.' :D
