Joseph Bulger said… - Thanks Chief. Greatly appreciated. We all need to continue promoting the site, as the power of the network corresponds to the number of nodes on the net. I manage a LinkedIn group with a few hundred members, many of which are prior Navy. It will be my privilege to provide this link with endorsement.
