Thanks for bringing that up.

If it comes to fruition, it will be a great deal for the Huey types to get into VMR-1. Knowing the skid community, though, they won't appreciate it. It will be regarded as being banished to the dark side of the moon--they don't even like it when one of their own instructs in P-cola. For skids, if you don't shoot, you don't count!

I'm still a little apprehensive about the likelihood of it happening, though, seeing the pending cuts in the USMC. The Corps likes to cut as much of the supporting establishment as it can before getting into the trigger-pulling side of the house.
