Leon's Promotion

Today Leon got promoted to the rank of Staff Sergeant (E6). When he was back east in North Carolina he was put on what is called a "board" where they ask a series of questions and he was one of the Marines selected to be meritoriously promoted! 

When Marines are promoted, they pick two people to put their new rank on each collar and he chose myself and Gunnery Sergeant Campbell, he worked with this Marine for a couple years and he and his wife were very supportive when Tyson was born.

After the ceremony we were able to enjoy a cookout and meet lots of new people!
