OT: My Promotion/Reenlistment

Well, im finding out that my promotion will be a few months earlier than i originally expected. With that being said, i am needing to Reenlist, so i asked my Commander today if he would be willing to do my reenlistment for me. However, he said there was one stipulation, that i needed to pick some place cool to do it at(he made a suggestion of the wing of a C-17 cargo aircraft). I said yea that would be cool, then i suggested, how about 125 ft in the air with the local Mountains in the background? He said, "Heck yea, lets do it! I might be scared up there, but we can do this!"
So when i do Reenlist, i will have some one video the ceremony and i will post up. Should be interesting, especially since some of you dont get to experience a Reenlistment or Promotion ceremony. I will also have someone video the promotion ceremony. Hoping to Reenlist within the next couple of weeks once the paperwork gets drawn up.

This is the piece of Equipment i am talking about.

Congrats, on the promotion and thanks for your service, btw the link didn't work for me, but I imagine a Genie Boom type of equipment.

Looking through the equipment though, I think it is this one, correct?

Used Utility Bucket Trucks in California: 2001 Versa-Lift Condor 125' Articulated Aerial Platform in California $265,000

Sweet ride

Cool, and thanks. THis reenlistment will take me to 24 years. hoping i can get it done here real quick. it is a little more time consuming when deployed waiting on MPF to send the paperwork
