Well done, Sergeant Meyer.

Well done, indeed. Young fella to be a Sgt, too. Must have been a real high performing Marine.

Job well done. I would have had to pass on the beer with b-ho though.

Well when you receive such an award the Meritorious Promo usually comes immediately Probably with the Navy Comm on his chest. Usually to make Sgt. in 4 you have to have at least 2 Meritorious Promotions. I was Meritorious PFC, LCPL and CPL(Combat Promo) in Iraq. I picked up Sgt with Time/Grade, MCI's, Rifle and PFT Scores just before my EAS. It's tough indeed but possible. As most Marines here can attest to, EVERYTHING is a competition in the Marine Corps. Slots for schools are extremely competitive and you can bet that the most talented indeed will get the school seat.

Enough of all that anyway, this young man deserves this award and MUCH more. Poor fellow will suffer from the merits of this award for the rest of his life. Hopefully he gets help.

Not sure about that Beer with Obama though.

I would have turned down the beer personally. Semper Fi Marine. Well done, even if it was the worst day of your life.

Makes you proud to be an American but more so, to have been a member of the Armed Forces!
