I never thought I would see the day when Lil Cowboy conceded anything. However, there is always a first time. I want to congratulate SWWOW on her new post as Company Sweetheart. As Commander of the Texas Republican Army, I am going to promote her to the rank of SGT. E-5 with a date of rank of 4 July, 2009. I want to thank my mentor and 1sg for supporting SWWOW in her endevor.
I appreciate Lil Cowboy's honoring his promise and I will do the same. No pictures other than reunion pictures will appear on the web site.
I am thinking of promoting Lil Cowboy, and I will in short order, no pun intended. I will convene a promotion board consisting of myself, Harry, Tex and 26. I will notify all concerned within one week. Lil Cowboy will have two weeks to study for his board from date of notification.
Have a good night everyone.
Rat,
Commander, TRA
Overton is still on the move.
Tex, 6x8x9
Harry, 6x8x9
Lil Cowboy, we need the bait.

I will humbily submit to SWWOW that she deserves to be Company Sweetheart. I actually was pulling for her all this time. Just like I worked "behind the scenes" to help her Dad become Commander of the TRA. But I am not one who looks to be in the spotlight, so I will let others take all the accolaides for helping SWWOW-CS gain her fame. All of my my attention to detail and toughness towards SWWOW-CS and the Rat were meant to make them both strong people such as myself. Kind of like the pressure it takes to turn a chunk of coal into a diamond. I will say no more discouraging words about either of them. I promise.
It is good to see Tex back on the blog! I was afraid he had gone fishing with Harry again but decided to sit in the seat at the front of the boat himself. Harry's method of fishing is not for everyone.
I am patiently waiting for the Rat to produce the pictures of this year's reunion. I know he will do a great job with them. He has ONLY had a few weeks to put them on the blog so I want you other guys to lay off of him.
And congratulations again to SWWOW-CS! I don't care what your Daddy says about you, I think you are alright!

Good afternoon gentlemen,
Thank you for electing me YOUR Company Sweetheart! I promise to live up to the name. When ever you feel down and need to hear how young and handsome you look, I will be there for you! I will live up to my promotion I PROMISE!
Lil Cowboy, I am sorry that you were out voted. What is it that you have against my family??? You did not vote for my dad, you did not want me to be CS? Did we do something to your family in a previous life? Maybe you should seek some mental health.....it may do you good.
I am off to run errands. I love you all and you all really are the best 30 year old looking men I have seen in a LONG time!!!

XOXOXO
SWWOW and CS!!!!!!

Thanks Tex, I knew all true southern gentlemen would cast a yes vote. But please don't blame me for the Rat's present state of mental condition. I tried to convince him years ago not to drink from that mountain stream after the plane dumped all that agent orange in our AO.

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted here, thing's have been a little crazy here in the Republic. I am very happy to cast my vote for SWWOW for CS. Sorry Lil Cowboy, but I have to go with my gut feeling and do this, because it's the right thing to do. After all, that great redneck leader Harry cast his vote for her, and we must remember he was to one that got the Rat where he is today.

I am proud to call SWWOW our CS and Rat our CO!!!

From the Republic,

1st Sgt. Tex
