I would have to agree that with the numbers you posted at least being in the ballpark. "Critically manned" is a fair assessment since we are being told that no leave will be granted over the summer for the guys not PCS'ing. In Mobile and Miami I've heard that if a crew bags out or goes med down they might need the Command and Control types to stand the alert duty.

Granted this is hearsay but the fact that this is even being considered means that the critically manned statement is probably true.

Good luck with the board results and if I see it on the message board I'll try and post it here. But it usually takes about 6 weeks for the results to be released so you should hear by mid-July.
