Congrats
Now if you want that promotion to count TAKE the wife/kids or significant other out and spend that dough on her/them to make up for the time away from home. Maybe even to the range!
 
There are those folks who beleive a brides wedding ring should cost three months worth of the grooms wages.

That seems fair your new pay grade times three months for a new gun(s).

It a darn good thing ,I think, that my wife didn't buy into all of that big assed diamond stuff....other wise I'd still be single......... ;)
 
A custom engraved Purdy...you pick the caliber...engraved with "Lenny" on the side...[So if you ever decided to give it away to say, a guy named "Lenny" who is a retired E7...you could er...give it to a nice guy I know!]

And a nice pointer...from a good Tennessee breeder...to go with the shotgun!
 
Maybe a Yost 1911 would fit the bill. I have been seriously conteplating one anyway. :D

Funny thing is, the wife met me at the door last night with a hug and the pay chart.

She wanted to know how much she gets. :eek:
 
Three months? How long ago did you get married???

The diamond communists these days are saying six months!
Guess I shoulda got married way-back-when...when I didn't make any money.

The ring I gave my wife cost me about $1000. Had I followed the 3 month "rule" I'd have spent about $13,000 considering the OT I was getting at the time. My wife would've slapped me silly if I'd spent $13k on a dang ring.

'Course I did propose to her while on vacation in New Zealand. But that entire vacation still only cost us about $4500. Even including that I didn't even get half way to what I was "supposed" to spend.

When we got married (3 yrs ago) we had over 100 guests, with full catering and lots of micro-brew beer and still spent only $6000 (of which we were on the hook for $1000 - her mom and father each kicked in $2500). Even including the entire about cost of the wedding (not just what we spent) I'm still short of the $13k.
 
I've been married for 20 years. She's been on me to get her an anniversary ring.

I promised her one at 10 years and havent gotten it yet. :what:
 
I agree about a nice 1911. However, your spouse has been there for you, and you might consider also getting something equally special for her...how about his and hers matching 1911's, heeheee.
