Default Finally Sgt Major

After being 1st Sgt. for 5 months, I finally got promoted to Sgt. Major. I was gonna quit after this, but they decreased the requirement for some of the medals, so I'll play for a little bit longer, and then I'll stop. It was a long way to this promotion and I'm happy that I finally got it.

You are doing pretty good. And you have most of the awards too. Just spend 15 min in a jet and get the Aerial Service Ribbon, assuming you get 19 kills of course.

Congrats on achieving your goal, now make some new ones




Veteran Air Defense

This is one of my goals atm.
I am 2 hours away from the requirements, but I'm not 'whoring' AA's, just as the moment dictates, or when I'm commander I might sit in one of them for a couple of lives.

Did you know that you can resupply the Tunguska/Linebacker rockets while being Support?

Well I'm sorry for being stupid for not playing 24/7, but some of us have to work 60 hours a week and wifes to deal with. Not to mention working out 3 times a week to maintain my size.

Took me 2 months to get 1SG after gunnery SGT. I don't think I'll ever make SGM. For one thing I suck wit helis and I can't last 15 min in one.

wow. i could never hope to have that many points in so little time. i think took me about 3 months to make just 5000points or something, i dont remember exactly. i dont think i could stay sane if i tried to get 9k points in 6-7 weeks.

Grats man, I have another 15k or so to go. Anyone else thinks that the 30k gap is pretty ridiculous? Especially since the next promotion is in only 10k?
