    Thanks Chief... Hopefully the department will come around. I'm hoping this FDIC trip will open some eyes to our attendees. I'll see you at the conference! Just look for the Hawaii guys that are lost in Indy!

    Jay - when you get a chance in the next couple weeks give me a call and come on over and see the Command Training Center. I know you have used DC in the past, so I am sure you will like what we have going on!
