Gentlemen, please rise!

Genreal Wistedt enters the room, the assembled US officers stand to attention. After having exchanged salutes, General Wistedt proclaims:

"It's my honour to announce that Cadet Joe McCleery has passed the Field Unit Exam as well as the Written Exam at West Point and now has been promoted to 1st Lieutenant in the US Army. Lt McCleery will be assigned to the Eastern Theatre. Lt McCleery has passed both exams with the highest marks and will be a significant reinforcement to the US cause!"

General Wistedt continies:
"Lt McCleery, to the front!"

The Lt steps forward and marches with perfect moves up front and turns towards the assembled officers.
Genreal Wistedt applies his old shoulder insignias on the Lt's uniform and shakes his hand.

"Now Good Luck Lt and don't forget your lessons from the Point!", Genreal Wistedt adds. "And now some celebrations, the Lt's drinks are on me tonight! - At ease!"

The assembled officers gather around the fresh Lt in order to congratulate him on his new comission... and expect some good drinks in return..[;)]
