Tech Sergeant Rowe

Idaho Air National Guard

On Sunday, we got to attend a very special ceremony for Daniel. I've mentioned before that he's in the Idaho Air National Guard, and this weekend he was promoted from Staff Sergeant to Technical Sergeant (E6)! Daniel is employed full-time at the Idaho ANG as a recruiter, and this was a really special honor for us. There was a small ceremony just for him, and his entire work department and most of our family were able to attend (for a who's-who in the photo above from left to right after me and Daniel: his mom, his dad, his brother (who is also in the Idaho Air National Guard), his aunt and his uncle (who is retired a Air Force Master Sergeant)). I was even included as a part of the ceremony, and got to stand on stage with him and help put on his new stripes!

We're so proud of him. This is huge for us, not only did his rank increase, but his pay did as well (hooray!). He's now been serving for over 10 years, and he plans to serve through retirement. The Guard is the perfect place for Daniel, and it's honestly the best job... he works with a great team of people, he gets to meet new people and travel all over the state, and he can't be deployed! If you or anyone you know is looking to serve our country and is interested in the National Guard, check out the 124th Fighter Wing's Recruiting Facebook page. My sweet Daniel manages that page and can answer any questions you may have!

Congrats. That is soooo cool. No one I know is in any mitlary branch but I know it's an honor. Tell him thanks for severing our country for me. =]

YAY! I don't even know you guys, but I felt so proud while reading this post. We are sooooo incredibly blessed to have people like Daniel defending our Country. I have a brother in the Air Force, so I know how exciting it is when they get a promotion. :) Tell Daniel's brother I'm grateful for his service also.
Blessings!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks Kelly. We are super excited for this big promo. It's a huge help financially, too!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks, Suzzie! As Daniel would say, "Next to every man..." :)

Annelise Rowe said...

Thanks, April! Glad to find a lady who knows what she's talking about!! :) Gotta love those acronyms, right?

Annelise Rowe said...

That I will, Cody. Thank you. He loved reading the comments from this post!

Annelise Rowe said...

Thank you so much, Emily. That was so encouraging to read. I was blessed to grow up with half of my mom's side in the Army, so I'm really used to it. I never thought I'd marry anyone in the military, so when I met Daniel I was very excited about this part of his life. It is awesome! We appreciate you & your sweet words.

Cody said...

Your welcome. I am sure he did!

Katie said...

Congratulations to Daniel! What an awesome thing for you both!

Annelise Rowe said...

We are so excited for this change. It's not much of a change for him, but it sure is for the $$! Thank you!
