MAJ Gray Promotion | Military Event | May '14

So I know that it has been a little while since I have posted, but a lot has gone lately with work. Today I am excited to present you guys with some new pictures. I was asked to take them for work and had to get the okay before I posted them online.

MAJ Gray received his promotion to MAJ last month and asked me to take pictures for him. I think this promotion was much deserved and I am grateful to be able to use these pictures in my portfolio!

I was testing the settings on my camera (they still need some work) and saw a perfect opportunity to take the above picture. This represents part of what my unit does. We're either pilots, air traffic controllers (me), or maintainers.

These are the two people in charge of our unit at this time. Sadly, they are both getting ready to leave us.

Tradition in Germany is that once you get promoted you have to tap the barrel so everyone can drink from it

One of the traditions in my unit is when officers get promoted, they share beer from a keg. MAJ Gray (the guy in dress uniform) was trying to tap the keg so they could drink from it but it wasn't working right and he got the beer EVERYWHERE!

There was an issue with tapping the keg so they try to contain the mess while finding something else to work

Present at all events on Army bases in Germany are the American and German flags to honor the partnership between the two countries
