I received the stripes a few days earlier but I didn't put them on officially until March 4th to make my commander(at the time) happy. He insisted I wasn't a corporal but I had the papers to prove it. 10 months in the army is corporal.
It feels kinda cool to show my ranking on my uniform. Ranks in hebrew is Dragot. דרגות
I finally got a picture. :)
I decided I didn't want to put my rankings on until I got Sergeant which is Samal. סמל It's something that the combat soldiers do. I wanted to do it that way.
For Passover(in hebrew Pesach פסח), the holiday we celebrate Moses liberating us from Ancient Egypt, I was told i needed to put my ranks on because we had an office check and I celebrated Passover at a special sedar for Lone Soldiers. The sedar will be the next blog. :)

| Corporal Stripes PC: Karen |
Okay so the 2 blue stripes underneath my unit tag are my Corporal Stripes. This photo was taken by a great new friend of mine named Karen. We are in our hotel room at the Lone Soldier Passover Sedar.
