Good stuff. I think if there was just one piece of advice I would have for a newbie...It would be that there is never a dumb question. But, there are a lot of dumb answers. Especially when it comes to scheduling and expenses. Verify, verify, verify before you do it or spend it.
That may be more than one piece of advice?
But, on a more personal note...Did you vote on the LOA, now that you're not a probie? You can get all the advice you need on that, right here on APC. About 800 pages of it
