I know we have a lot of military families on the board, so I'm hoping you can give me a little advice, since this is a first for me.
My friend is getting promoted to Chief Petty Officer, and I'll be going to her pinning ceremony this weekend. I want to get her a congratulatory card, of course, but I'm not sure what else. I'm thinking of sending flowers to her home, or bringing a bottle of wine to the reception, but I'm not sure if the wine is really appropriate, especially to bring to a reception that appears to be put on by the Navy for all the selectees.
What's customary?
Thanks,
