Scott got promoted back in July, but we weren't allowed to take any pictures at the ceremony because of the security level of his building, so someone from public affairs took pictures for us and we finally got them this week. :) Here is Col. Gilson saying some nice things about Scott. Col. Gilson was the IG - the Inspector General for Space Command (head of the the group Scott works for) but he has since retired. He conducted the promotion part of the ceremony and was very entertaining. We thought he was a little Conan O'Brien-esque.
Scott's cake. Let's not forget the important things, here.
Me and the kids watching
At attention while they read the promotion order
Traditionally the spouse or parents pin on the new rank. Scott got one of each. Here we are (me and Dad Guptill) taking off the old captain rank.
And putting on the new major rank
The kids were very well behaved and very cute
Taking the oath
And the new Major Guptill with all of his people. Grant was pretty well behaved too. Congrats again, Scott! Have we told you how proud we are?
