Thanks, I'm at work and my FSM is at home and I needed an answer fast. Knew someone on the Forum would come through.

BTW, doesn't your son graduate soon from the Point?

Yep, he graduates in May, thanks for asking.

I received the formal invitation for the ceremony from the Lt. General a few weeks ago. I'm going to frame it, LOL.
