Wow!!

Impressive creds! Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express recently as well?

g, I just finished eight years of working successfully directly for General Officers at and above the 1st Cav CG's pay grade, count a couple as close personal friends, have 25 years serving in this man's Army, a Masters in Military Arts and Science (History concentration) and not to toot my own horn, but I think I have a pretty good perspective of what they mean when they speak at functions like this.

There are topics on this board that I know very little about, and would yield to you on telecommunications, but it is a bit annoying at this stage of my career to have to argue transformation, FCS, and GO intent with a rank amateur.

Please reread all of the above posts, including the CG's comments and consider what you are getting into before you dig your hole here any deeper.

You are being accorded significant latitude here because of your history. Newbies, try this at your own risk.
