What Combover said is the point of view I'm coming from. With everything blowing up in the industry, RTAG, etc, there is just so much info out there. At the end of the day, my comment didn't add anything and I should have just kept my mouth shut. Honestly, it was kind of more like a - WTF bro - I would've given a squadron mate in my previous life. The thought of him not even applying - even in the slight down tick we're in now - just really stood out. That's all.
