"Lt Lobo Sir... this was just handed to me by your Commanding Officer, he said it needs to be read and implemented immediately." Said the Yeoman.
Lobo looked over the PADD and called the Shuttle Bay to attention.
"FALL IN!"
Lobo waits for the Marines and Fleetsman to fall into formation.
Lobo reads from the PADD.
"From: Commanding General Starfleet Marine Forces, Delta Quadrant.
From: Commanding Officer Starfleet Marine Forces, Delta Quadrant.
To: Staff Sgt John Moore Starfleet Marine Forces
ATTENTION TO ORDERS:
*Assembled Personnel snap to attention
Staff Sergeant Moore,
For performance of your duties above and beyond the regular call of duty, your Commanding Officer Colonel Balkazar has requested the following be added to your Service Record.
1. Promotion to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant.
As your duties and acts of heroism in the recent emergency Colonel Balkazar has seen fit to recommend your promotion to 2nd Lieutenant. While Field promotions of this type are usually not permanent, Colonel Balkazar's recommendations have convinced me to allow this exception to tradtion. Lt Moore, please accept my congratulations on your promotion. This is a reminder of the value we hold of the highest honors and traditions of the Marines Corps.
Semper Fi,
Commanding General
Starfleet Marine Forces."
Lobo approaches Moore, removes his Staff Chevrons and places them in his pocket, removes the "butter bars" from their case and pins them onto the Lt's collar.
"Congratulations Lieutenant." Lobo grins. "I guess I need to find a new Platoon Sgt." Lobo Laughs and shakes the man's hand.
Lobo returns to his original position and addresses the gathered personnel.
"FALL OUT!"
"Ok boys and girls, we still got a lot of work to do. Congratulate Moore when you have a moment of spare time."
Lobo leans in and speaks quietly to Moore "When this mission is over Lieutenant, meet me outside my quarters. There's more to this promotion that needs to be explained."
Lobo smiles knowingly and strikes the Lieutenant firmly on the collar bones when noone is looking effecting an old Marine Tradition of "pinning" a recent promotee.
