Maj (S)

 The Air Force officially announced the Captains that will be promoted to Major next calendar year and Dan is one of them!   Six people in Dan's division were selected for promotion.  Overall there were 2560 people selected for promotion and Dan is number 370, which will mean an early promotion for him.  And early means spring 2014 perhaps.  Today his division had a party for those selected including crazy large shoulder boards with the Major gold maple leaf symbol. Selectees also received a beverage of choice, an AFRL patch with their line number inscribed on it, an official Major's rank, all hung around the beverage with a braided rope made by Col Maethner and his wife.
