Here I am on my birthday, 12 April 1981. I was a Yeoman Second Class in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve. As I have my uniform on, it was a drill weekend. The location is at my father-in-law's house in Jacksonville, FL, where my husband had been busy all day baking and decorating that cake, which bears the insignia of a Yeoman First Class. That day, at drill, I received my letter of advancement to YN1, and I had called my husband that morning with the news. It was a nice birthday present. The cake was a nice surprise, too, and my husband did it all by himself!

Relevant and intelligent comments are welcome. I have had to turn on moderation and "captcha" again because for the past several days, I have been getting nothing but irritating, inane spam. Sorry, but them's the berries.
I reserve the right to delete comments which are irrelevant, which try to sell a product or push an agenda, or which contain any of the words George Carlin couldn't say on TV. Please post your comments in a language I can read, those being English and Spanish. (I'll translate Spanish comments so others can read them, if necessary). I'm sorry, but I cannot read other languages, and since I do not know what might be being said, I will have to delete comments in languages which I cannot read.
