Derek on leave

Last weekend I went to Charleston to see Derek who was on leave from Afghanistan. It was nice to see him but hard to say goodbye for another 8 months. At least he's going back as a general.... ahem I mean sergeant and he may have a more interesting job this time around.

Derek looks great! All grown up. I'm sure it was so nice to see him. It's so hard to know you won't see him for another 8 months.
So, he got promoted? Is sargent good? (I know nothing about it).

Sergeant is great for Derek. It means he's an officer now rather than a simple peon and has some guys under his command. So basically he's the boss! Next step - 4 star general! Right Derek?
