2. SO TRUE!!! I actually had a choice and it was a no brainer
Not trying to be confrontational. But, the fact that you're not an IP and you are in a second operational tour, makes me give you the hairy eyeball.
Why were you not an IP? I don't know the current thinking that's going around on the current promotion boards, but, what if you don't make IP on a MWS before your Majors board? Do they even have IPs for GHs? I guess they do, but are they on the same level as a C-5 IP?
And it is very true what they say, the needs of the chair force come first.
