Striking a rate in the US Navy is sort of akin to picking a class in an RPG. It allows you to progress through the ranks, getting more rewards, and enabling you to do a specific thing.
I look forward to the day when we will have to address you as Grand High Commodore JulyFlame.
Interesting job, I've got to say. Maybe you'll find a Big-Mouth Whale!
You did... it!

You somehow resisted the urge to make a 'July has class now!' joke.
I, on the other hand, did not.
(Hey, if Munchkin can do it, so can I!)

That is easily the best explanation anyone could have given.
Shame about less sleep and the wear and tear your retinas will no doubt sustain, but stepping-stones to better things are good. {= )
(BTW, did you get my package remotely near Christmas? I've been meaning to e-mail you to ask this, but since I'm writing here...)

I've also got a package to mail you in return, once I've time. (This may take a bit).
Congratulations to you, July! :D
From what you said, you're selected for more work, less tan and same pay. But you say it's a good thing so... Good luck taking over the ship one grade after one.
I'm not going to pretend I understand what that is...
Congrats! :D
July's movin' on up! To the . . . sea side!
. . .
But really! Congratulations. Soon, July, will have taken over the entire Navy. All shall love her and despair!

It puts me in an enclosed dark place for the rest of deployment. ;D
nice and quiet, with not too many people around! That sounds nice.
—doctorlit is enjoying zookeepering in mostly empty animal buildings, but that will change when the area opens to the public and the public starts pounding on the glass
Ooh, okay! Very nice!
And many congratulations to you. :D
We are all so, so proud of you.

Wait a minute. Does this mean you're the Board's Phones? I think this means you're the Board's Phones. hS, any other Supermarionation fanbeings, back me up on this, willya? =]
Wait, yes, I am. I'm denying that!
Since I think I understand what this means, congrats again! Here, have this cup of — sorry, the kittens souldn't be there...
Despite less sleep and no holiday routine in my future, yeah.
But kitties.
Or 'a sideways promotion which means they can give you harder work without actually giving you more authority and/or pay' (I got one of those at one point)?
Either way, congratulations! Though I'm sure you'll miss sanding off the tattered remnants of the paint you applied last time you had to sand the same blasted object over and over again... yeah, maybe not.
