Hi , I'm a private first class Mar .
And today I'm getting promoted through
the soldier referral program .
Basically , you can refer a soldier if
you are from E one to E three and you
can get a promotion . You get a army
recruiting ribbon as well as 10
promotion points for every person you
refer after I graduated . A I , I went
to a home for hometown recruiting . I
started talking to a bunch of buddies .
I talked to him about the army ,
different things you get on your
contract , what type of jobs that are
available and one of them seemed
interested and he seemed to like it .
So he joined and I got an email from
the captain at that recruiting station .
Thank you for referring this soldier
and that I would get promoted and
following up . Uh
Well , I'm pretty excited about it . It
uh saved a lot of time . Definitely
because I've only been in for a year
and three months instead of waiting for
another uh nine months I get promoted
now .
