I hope it didn't sound as though I wish furloughs or downturns on anyone. I may not have quite as much enthusiasm as I once did, but I'm not an as*hole. My time at ALG was great, I ran up the seniority list, upgraded and left (of my own free will) right before 9/11. I'm looking forward to AWAC, I just wish the pay-scale was a little better. Good luck in training- it sucks to be away for that long.
