I got promoted almost four months ago. You are supposed to get all uniforms updated within one month of promotion. Whoops. In my defense, I was at sea when I picked up, and the ship's store doesn't carry Marine insignia.

But when I got home, I kind of forgot about it/put it off. Better late than never, so I took my stuff over to the alterations shop to get all my new rank insignia sewed on.

And while I was at it, I'm sixteen months overdue on attaching my service stripes... had to get those too.

All told, getting my uniforms updated was more than a hundred bucks. Good thing they give us a raise.
