This was my beautiful wife this past January getting ready to go in to take her exam for Chief Petty Officer.
这张照片是我的漂亮妻子，上个月（一月）正要去参加海军‘上士’考试。

She was in between chemo rounds, and fighting fatigue, chemo sickness and chemo brain.
她正在化疗时期，与疲惫的身体，化疗的病痛，脑部的损害作斗争。

When she got home and I asked her how she did, she said “I prayed my way through the exam so it’s all in God’s hands.”
当她回家，我询问她是考地怎么样。她回答：我在考试中祈祷，所以上帝会帮助我的。

Today, the Navy publicly released the advancement results for Chief Petty Officer and she was selected!
今天，海军官方公布了晋升结果，她被录取为‘上士’了！

For those of you that don’t know, being selected for Chief is a huge milestone in her career. I am SO proud of her!
你不知道，被选中成为上士，在她的人生中对她有多么重要，我非常为妻子感到骄傲！

This year has been a tough one on her, but she never stopped fighting. She always relied on her faith. She never gave up. She is a true FIGHTER.
今年对妻子来说是困难的一年，但是她从未停止奋斗。她总是那样信念坚定。她从不放弃。她是真正的战士。

Congratulations, Chief Select. I’m proud of you and I love you! ♥️
祝贺我的上士，我为你自豪！永远爱你！
