The moment I've been waiting for has almost arrived.  My fiancée and I will be going to Ciudad Juarez on Thursday to start our week of appointments culminating in the K-1 visa interview on the 12th.  After a year-and-a-half of paperwork and waiting for USCIS, it snuck up on us all of a sudden.  They contacted us like four days ago and said: "Hey, you're interview is scheduled in Juarez."  We're a little apprehensive about spending a week in a motel in one of the murder capitals of the world, but that's what has to be done.

So effing excited.  Of course, this expensive trip would pop up right before purps drop. Gah.

I just hit the biggest milestone in my Navy career. I was selected for promotion to Chief Petty Officer (CPO)! This was my 5th attempt at selection, and I finally saw my name on the list. Today begins six weeks of training to transition into the new role. There's nothing like this in any other branch of the military, and I'll be busy in the coming weeks with leadership training, team building, and self reflection. When all of this culminates on the day of pinning (Sept. 16th), I'll be known in the Navy as Chief!

" The annual list of Chief selectees is authorized by Congress, leading CPOs to sometimes state, "it took an act of Congress to put these anchors here, it will take an act of Congress to take them off." "
