Many thanks to the member who pointed out that Kyle is a retired Sgt Major, NOT a Master Sgt.

My mistake...we didn't have Sgts in the Navy.

I called today and Melinda should have sent you confirmation of payment. If not drop me another line. Got my hotel room and gear all squared away.

Guys...I am real sorry, but we have to cancel this one. The economy has taken a big bite out of training budgets, and it has shown up in our ability to get the numbers. I will look to reschgedule in our region in early 2010.

Again, sorry about that.
