I didn't take it personally.
Want this to pass? Pull it. Take out SVT. It might then have a chance, despite being (IMHO) quite substandard. However--I'll fight anyone--MGT or Union--who thinks being sent away 3 months from family is acceptable. That is assinine. If--according the Scott Schwartz--nobody thinks it will happen, then WHY did it end up in writing in the LOA.
We can argue about money and allowances. Being sent away against my will is a non-starter--pure and simple.
Not personal--so Rowdy1--if you can fix that--do it and come back to us.
