Yes, thanks to God and all who prayed to Him on my behalf, I am now a Sergeant.
Quite a miracle actually.
And its not as if I deserved it, it was more of a delivery from 5 months of purgatory.
The best part is that my old non-conformist mindset remains intact, witness the creation of my own Army Specialists' Creed, as follows (I've asterisked the nation's name to create a measure of plausible deniability):
My Specialists' Creed
I
Am a Specialist of the S******** Army
With Pride I Lead
I excel in my specialist field
I ensure the discipline of my soldiers
and the readiness of their equipment
I overcome adversity
with my Fighting Spirit
I will defend S*******
WITH MY LIFE.....
YEAH RIGHT
MY BIG FAT ASS I WILL!!
