Alan's Promotion

July 10th, Alan was promoted from an E6 to an E7 in the Army National Guard. He has been waiting for this promotion for a long time and I think it was pretty big for him! Above: Me taking off Alan's old rank and tossing it over my shoulder below. This is a tradition I guess!
Soldiers that were an E7 or above can give Alan what is called a "blood rank" by punching him hard in the shoulder. They way it used to be done would leave you bleeding and thats why it is called "blood rank".
