Yesterday afternoon, we attended a base-wide ceremony during which Isaiah was recognized for his promotion to E-6, or TSgt in the Air Force world. It was a pivotal moment for him, as that is one of the more difficult ranks to achieve on the AF career ladder. The ceremony was especially poignant, as his mother Gloria Jean was able to fly in from Georgia and attend. With her on one side, and the children and I on the other, we helped him pin on his new stripe!
Afterwards, we celebrated with his commander and some of our dear friends who were in attendance. In true Hawaiian style, the guys threw their hands up into a "shaka" and shared some Aloha spirit!
All in all, it was a wonderful day and we were proud to be a part of it. It's a really great thing when you get to see all of the hard work a person has invested come to fruition. Congratulations, Isaiah!
