Before I start, I have two things. First, I should have checked my facts… My sister is actually battalion commander (a higher rank than company commander). Sorry, Amy! Also I wanted to mention that the baby picture in my last post is of my sister when she was THREE months old. Yes, that chunky baby is only 3 months old and wearing 18 month clothes.
