Lieutenant:
Can't say I didn't see this day coming. You have done far more than your share over the years, under stressors that would break a lesser man, and yet you managed to come back just a little stronger each time. I'm proud of you, son.
Consider all of your recommendations accepted. We will schedule an assembly for the various promotions to take place on or before the date you intend to leave. I suggest informing Hotwing privately of his impending advancement and show him how various paperwork etc is carried out.
Good luck in the future, and don't forget to let an old man know how you're doing.
Cmdr. Stargazer
