ES with his new blue neckerchief.So thinking about promotions to come... I'm trying to think what would be a cool place to have a promotion ceremony in the DC area. Nothing big and fancy, not like with an MC reading a script and a band playing the national anthem and speeches and all that. Just a cool, memorable spot for a brief ceremony with family.
I have two locations in mind so far, but thought I'd mention it here and see if anyone else had any cool ideas.
In the submarine room at the U.S. Navy Museum.Someone else I know recently had their promotion ceremony in the Pentagon Chapel. I have to admit I haven't actually BEEN to the Pentagon chapel yet, so I have no idea what that's like.

How about just in our Living Room? :-)
I loved both of those locations. The Navy memorial is grand, though you might have a problem with traffic control.
The sub room at the museum sees a lot less traffic--at least it did when I was there--and has the benefit of long tradition.
Both good choices.
I like both ideas. My husband was recently promoted (May 1st) and they held it in the War Room on board the USS George Washington. It was short and sweet and was also the first time for my daughters and I to be on a carrier...we've only been on board submarines!
Is the USS Barry still in DC? When I was a reservist there, guys did retirements and re-enlistments there, too. Though I like the Navy Memorial, personally.
