Please join me in congratulating Mixed Metaphor on completing his journey to Red Hat at CMP Talladega on September 22!! ^:)^ :partytime:
Mixed Metaphor posted his first Rifleman score at the Inaugural KD at Talladega, so it was an appropriate place for him to don the Red Hat. He eased his way into the cadre by taking a Blue Hat and helping with the administrative details for a while then he decided to jump in with both feet and take an Orange Hat. It has been my pleasure to watch him develop into a fine instructor and I look forward to working with him at many more events in the future!
Congratulations and HUZZAH!!!

Congrats Gary! I like the hat display. If I had my own office, I would do that with mine!
Congrats Gary!
Well done. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to reach this level. O0
