Novelty

So I finally got officially and formally promoted yesterday. Finally.

And it took about 24 hours to get over the novelty of getting saluted. Although some *coughmanycough* people at RMC seem to have forgotten that you have to salute all commissionned officers, and not just Captains/Lt(N) (Squadron Commanders), I still have to work in an environment where I outrank about 95% of people I run into, which means I still get saluted a lot. Now I know why Squadron Commanders disappear for about half an hour after parades: too hard to get around without having to constantly keep your arm raised to return salutes.

Now if they could only fix my pay...
