Shawn's promotion

Last week, on April 21st (which also happens to have been our 3rd wedding anniversary) Shawn graduated from Airman Leadership School. He is now a Staff Sergeant. Congratulations, Shawn! We got to go to a nice dinner and hear lots of speeches and then the actual graduation. I'll try to upload the video that i took, but either my computer or the internet connection has not been cooperating. I'll try again.
this pic was taken really quickly when the graduates would walk up and shake hands (have picture taken) and salute, do an about face and then shake hands and salute the guy on the other side. too many things to concentrate on getting right with everyone watching you. i think i would've gotten it all in the wrong order, or fallen, or turned the wrong way... no pressure, right?
here are the 32 graduates. Shawn is in the very back row, third from the left.
the following are the security forces graduates. i had to put both of these up, even though they are almost the exact same picture. Shawn thinks he looks better in pictures when he doesn't smile but i love it when he shows those pearly whites of his so, to satisfy both of us, i had to put both pictures on here. :)
