[Psml] Comments of PSML Digest - Silver Trident Society

[Dan Bartell]

I think planning committee works for me when ever something needs to 
be worked out we call together all the past Cdrs in our 
squadron.  Since we are to a large degree in a retirement area that 
includes PCs from many squadrons.  Our latest "challenge" is that our 
incoming Cdr is completing a great circle cruise and is now in 
FL.  He won't be back home until April (after COW) so we are doing an 
acting Cdr of the week routine.

PCs can make most anything work when pressed into service.

Happy New Year,
Dan
