He was single so it was a great gig.LesH The geat part is that the WHMU added another 2 PA positions because they realize just how invaluable we are to that mission. I know it is ambitious but could you imagine an O-6 PA being selected to command the WHMU. That position btw for those that don't know is a Flag position. :=D: Also Les, did you get my pm?
