    I promise, I promise! One of these days, things will slow down a bit! Believe me...I want to watch the master at work! By the way, I am waiting on buckles and straps to arrive so I can finish that first kilt...I just pressed it today. Thanks so much for the book, the advice, and your friendship.

    To all of you...thank you very kindly for the support and words of encouragement/congratulations. I have a friend who attended NPS and he says it's the best kept secret in the military! I'm really looking forward to it...and I desperately need a break from this tempo I've been keeping.

    The first, and I still think best, Scottish Games I ever went to were at Monterey Fairgrounds (back in the mid 80's). Left there a long time ago so I don't know what they do now. If you don't enjoy it, it's your fault (but you do have to watch your pennies).

    You should be close enough to get together with the NorCal Rabble.

    Was TAD at what used to be Fort Ord a long time ago but it was warmer than NAVSTATreasure Island by a bit. Of course, everything that I used to know and everyplace that I used to go is either decommissioned or something else now! Good luck on your promotion, Sir.

    I'm form South CA myself- southern Canada. From where I live, we visit the Fort Drum area to thaw our car passenger doors open. And California sounds nice but I would lose the value of my decades of investment in different types of snow shovel. The Inuit have 100 words for different types of snow, and some say I have that many snow shovels, to handle each type with the maximum of ease. I'm just starting to polish them up for the coming winter. Enjoy Monterey but you don't know the fun you'll be missing.

    Confirmed...

    Firstly, thanks to all of you for the well wishes and the words of congratulations.

    Secondly, as a sort of update, I have received more information since I initially posted. I confirmed that I was, in fact, selected. Again, as I stated in my original post, I was pretty sure, but it's nice to have a real person confirm that vs. receiving some sort of random school enrollment email. I also was cc'd on an email from my assignments officer to another involved party this past week directing them to change my start date to December 2010 instead of June 2011 as the original email had specified. So it looks as though everything will be going as I've been hoping and planning for the past 13-14 months!! We'll be hitting the road right after Thanksgiving!

    Cool. Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?

    This is great news!
    MacMillan, don’t you need a cigar in your mouth when you say that? ;-)
