I've typed three responses to this. But keep backspacing. I'll walk away ..... I've been in enough trouble today.
Apparently I didn't see them but you can answer here if you like.

Short answer .... Worcester has been on the payroll for months now, and is swamped with work, trying to roll all this out. Maybe Hdqs is waiting for these Wings at MGM this week to finish so they can make a big announcement? IDK their reasons for waiting. Doesn't change anything thats happening today.
I assure you his LinkedIn page is not a lie. Its accurate.
eServices and WMIRS not ready ... but its not slowing the program down. All these folks from several Wings are working off paper and pencil in Montgomery this week as we speak, training to be trainers. Sorties being written on paper forms, paper logs, etc. They will head back to their Wings in a few days ready to start local training.
Read his description on his LinkedIn page. Thats where we are.
That's all great but we'll just revisit this if/when something official and not LinkedIn comes from NHQ
