Technical Sergeant Herrick...

Well after 6.5 years as a Staff Sergeant (E-5), I was able to sew on Technical Sergeant (E-6) as of 1OCT08! Thanks to all at the 4th Combat Camera Squadron who helped develop, endorse and submit my PEP (Promotion Enhancement Package) paperwork, which required a LOT of detailed writing. Aren't I glad I payed attention in English class!?

Milball, Foxnews, RNC, etc...

Well, let's see...I attended the 2008 Military Ball in St. Paul, MN...where coincidentally the RNC was being held. As such, I bumped into and met Sean Hannity of Fox News fame. It was great to get home and see many old faces. Pictures of the MN trip to come very soon! :)
