I'm getting promoted to SFC coming up in March and I'm looking for advice as to whether I should try and have a big ceremony where we cater food and all that or just a simple ceremony for family and friends to attend and not serve food to a unit of people who may or may not even know who I am.

Great comments in the forum already - my only question -> is this the endgame or just the next step on the journey; expectation management for bigger parties for MSG and SGM. Congratulations and do great things for our Army.

First and foremost, if you are married ask your spouse for input.
Maybe a ceremony at your unit, with family and friends invited and short reception, followed by a separate lunch at another location, immediately following, where you have more time to catch up with those family and friends (including some close Army friends).
This is the idea my wife came up with that I never would have thought up on my own.
