Hearing that my little sister got promoted to Captain at the age of 25. We still haven't spoken for nine months time, but I'm happy for her nevertheless.
Low Point:
Finding out that my little sister is more than likely going to Iraq to run a mortuary to prepare our fallen soldiers for their return home.
I do know that my sister takes her duty seriously and that it's wonderful she's so willing to aid, but the big sister in me sees my little sister and worries that it will be an overwhelmingly sad and depressing deployment.
Maybe she'll be doing more paperwork than anything else?

Wow..that is awesome about her making Captain. She has an unbelieveably important job. And one that deserves the utmost honor and respect. My hat goes off to her.

Sigh. I wish her a speedy & safe trip to that horrible place. I do believe our military is somewhat safer there these days than a few months ago, but then again, Katrina has dominated the news lately.
Congrats to her new rank!
