True and i can understand that.  It's the holidays still and he may be away
¨with family.

 CS> It makes no sense to make me an *RC when we know I'm leaving too,

Not sure yet.  I have one more chance to call the 'detailor' (one who
decides ¨where i go unless I retire) in January. After that, if we dont get
something i ¨retire.  If he does come up with something, hard to tell just
where it will be ¨and OZ isnt impossible but Z2 (Europe someplace) is more
likely.

The only thing for sure, is we wont be in Sasebo Japan after August this year.

 CS> be a natural if you folks could live *with an ION RC).

PQ> It probably would work.  Both of us Paul's (Sanders and I) are ION alr

Grin, workable but we have to wake up Terry to carry that one off.

PQ> If you're looking to do something in August then maybe you should get

True, I can see that.  I can work with that at sea a bit, but it's hard.
