I will but it is going to wait until I get off later this month or early July.

I saw a draft of it 6 months ago and did not like what I saw on the new technologies etc... and the required training that is coming down the pipe to go along with it. It looked to me like on even time you work and then spend half your time off at school, at least at the beginning.

OK, I may be exaggerating just a LITTLE...
