OUTSTANDING!!!

Now I guess I gotta stow my joke about a Barrister being the guy at Starbucks who makes your Mocha latte. ;D
"And Saint Attila raised the Holy Hand Grenade up on high saying, "Oh Lord, Bless us this Holy Hand Grenade, and with it smash our enemies to tiny bits. And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs, and stoats, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and lima bean-"

" Skip a bit, brother."

"And then the Lord spake, saying: "First, shalt thou take out the holy pin. Then shalt thou count to three. No more, no less. "Three" shall be the number of the counting, and the number of the counting shall be three. "Four" shalt thou not count, and neither count thou two, execpting that thou then goest on to three. Five is RIGHT OUT. Once the number three, being the third number be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade to-wards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuffit. Amen."

Remember, Col. C... no promotion is ever official until it's officially wetted down at the o-club!

Best of luck to the new Iowa CC!

An exceptionally fine choice of a dedicated senior officer.

I just got off the phone with Col. Critelli, who is in the hospital....in fact, he learned of his appointment as wing commander while being wheeled into surgery!

He is recovering well and hopes to be home for Christmas.

Col. Critelli asked me to extend his thanks to everyone for  the many congratulatory messages sent to him, and to offer his best wishes to all for safe and happy holidays!

Shall we open the "virtual O-Club."  Now, there's a name for a forum.

If this were 18th century Royal Navy I'd say it's definitely time to "splice the main brace"!

It certainly looks like the good guys do win, occasionally.  Congratulations, Col Critelli.

Congrats Lt Col Critelli.  From what I've seen, you're dedication can only serve to further advance CAP nationally, and certainly at the State Level.  Bravo Zulu!

Well I don't know Lt Col Critelli, but if Ray Hayden and Skip Munger don't like him...I am inclined to think he is an alright guy! ;D

Congrats Nick.  Get well soon!
