We salute the Marine who got promoted at a fried chicken restaurant on base

You only get one chance to be promoted to a Marine noncommissioned officer, so it makes sense that you’d want it to be a bit of a special occasion. And you might want a special location for that special occasion — like a fried chicken restaurant.

That’s apparently what a member of Combat Logistics Battalion 13 at Camp Pendleton, California decided for his Nov. 1 promotion to sergeant:

With an entire platoon standing at attention behind him in the Raising Cane’s fried chicken restaurant on base, this Marine swore to “execute the duties and responsibilities of a sergeant.”

The camera pans over to behind the counter, where one employee is casually observing while the rest are presumably busy at work frying chicken — plenty of which would be needed if the entire platoon is sticking around for lunch.
