I definitely will. If he cleans up his act I can see him in my spot in a few years but he has to earn it and not take any second of it for granted because as fast as promotions happen, so do demotions and we always have to remember that.

I'm glad you're getting a promotion, but have you considered that it might not be wise to post such details on a public forum like this until the change becomes official?
It's a distinct possibility that your coworker and the KM could be lurking on this very site, reading everything you post. It wouldn't be too hard to put two and two together.
I don't mean to be judgmental, but I'd hate to see you give this guy anything to sabotage you with down the road.
I'm sure it's hard to suppress your current enthusiasm and aims for the future, just make sure the time is right for exposing such details about your work environment.
