I made this about half a dozen years ago, and back then I really was proud of how far I had come in my personal journey, and what I had achieved, despite all sorts of bad hands dealt me (boo hoo!) and stupid decisions on my part. Since then, I've advanced in rank and attained a number of other significant achievements, so being a lootenant doesn't seem like such a big deal anymore, but I don't forget the milestones along the road I've taken.
