RTHolmes will be taking over as the C.O. of 71 Sqd.

Congrats to him!!!!!

I'm retired  :old:

HE will make a great CO and I feel great having him as my replacment!!!

It's been a pleasure being CO of such a fine group of guys...but life is in the way and I can't be around enough to be CO.


Congrats to RT!!!!!

oooops...

I'm not leaving the game...........(yet)

Just that my Dad is fighting some serious health issues....work is busy...Grandsons are keeping me busy and I fish ALOT.....so flying isn't very high on the scale of what I do. I quit golf last year because of a shoulder injury and bass fish now.

My dads health will take a toll for a while....thats most important now.

Well. Seeing as RedTop is gone, and RTHolmes is CO.

I will have to take RedTops secondary duty of 71's bait.  :rolleyes:
