My friend just got Mustanged

I am very proud of him21 years in and now he is an Ensign.

Mustanged by Merit

Commissioned by Choice

We need more guys like that.

Too bad other branches of service don't do that.

But then the elitists would have to worry about being outranked someday.

You mean he was enlisted and got a commission?

The Army has that too, it's called "Green to Gold".

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

The Navy does it far more often.

Very old practice going back to the days of wooden ships.

I wonder if has ever been on a ship!

No matter, the Army has more boats than the Navy anyway...

Holy shit! How many years does he have in? He may have screwed himself for retirement if he does his full 20.

So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh

'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life

Isn't an 02 a Lt.JG?

You got coined? So who bought the drinks?

I would have to look it up, I thought an ensign is O2 since midshipman is an O1.

Lt.Jg is like a 1st Lt.

Lt. is the equivalent of Army Captain.


I could be wrong, I am not a Sailor.

You are probably right.

He has to.

Actually is was a dbl. since he coined me knowing I may have one on me., then he gave me his Mustang Coin, it is tradition, I wonder why I got one?

It must have been the chili.

A midshipman is nothing, a play officer from the academy. O1 is an ensign.

I just looked it up, you are correct.
