I mentioned it elsewhere that I had been selected for promotion to Gunnery Sergeant. Katie and my Commanding Officer pinned my new rank on me over the weekend.
So, in case Ken stops by, it is accepted practice to call me "Gunny." (In the past I've berated Mr. Begg for referring to me as "Sarge.")
Congratulations Andrew on your promotion ! ! ! :thumbup: :thumbup:
Congrats, Gunny!
Congrats, Gunny. :cheers:
Gotta go rent HEARTBREAK RIDGE now... :teddyr:
Congratulations. You should be proud.
Congradulations! So are we now to call you Gunny, instead of Andrew?
Good job man, thats a big accomplishment. One fella I knew said that was technically the highest rank in the corps, everyone else was just an advisor after that.
Maybe we should call you Gundrew? Gunhead? (ever seen this gem: http://imdb.com/title/tt0097410/ ) now I shall call you Gunny until you stop hitting me.

YAY GUNNY!!
Good job! :cheers:
I take it you got a decent pay raise. :smile:
So are you planning to stay in the Marines and make a career out of it?
What ranks are above Gunnery Sgt.?
Congratulations, once again, Mr. Borntreger.
Congrats Gunny, next stop...the world. :teddyr:
Congratulations Andrew :cheers:
Does this mean you're like Jethro Gibbs from NCIS? And does that mean you're a crack sniper as well?
Con grats!!!! If you run into a guy named Mike Chick or Jim Raatz...tell'em I said hi! Their my step-sons.! Ones headed into Afghanastain...aftr bring in Iraq...and the other is still in boot...he'll be driving supply vechicles in Iraq.
Congratulations, Andrew!!!!
Not bad . . . . for a jarhead!!

Hey now you outrank R. Lee Ermey! You're a real Gunny instead of an honorary one like him.

Congratulations, Andrew: it is 0826 here and that news made me smile.
I am proud to call you my friend and I am proud of what the Marine Corps has achieved over the 232 years it has been serving both the American people and the world.
As the son of a soldier: I salute you, congratulations once again and Semper Fi, Gunny. :teddyr: :thumbup:
Congratulations Andrew! Now I'll be picturing you as an R. Lee Ermey type of guy. "Watch this movie you rotten maggot!!!" :bouncegiggle:
Congrats man!
Thanks everyone. For a long time I have wanted to become a Gunny, so this was a proud moment - I'll make sure to live up to the standards.
I don't believe I'm a Lee Ermey, but I am known for correcting people (Marines, civilian GS workers, etc.) when something is wrong and they should have known better. The promotion should just give me more horsepower to get the job done. I know there were times I could have used it over the last few years.
Nice! Congratulations!
Congratulations Gunny! :cheers:
