A father and son who both serve in the U.S. Army have progressed in tandem since enlisting with the same battalion. They were recently deployed together, promoted together, and have pinned each other to their new ranks in a ceremony that was broadcast virtually to their nearest and dearest.

Newly promoted Chief Warrant Officer 5 David D. Corbi and his son, Sgt. David A. Corbi, are both deployed with the Army’s 1st Battalion, 137th Aviation Regiment, 28th Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigade (ECAB). In August, the father-son duo had the pleasure of making their respective promotions official in a ceremony at the 28th ECAB’s mobilization station in Fort Hood, Texas.
