Thanks for the thoughts and prayers...Yes, I'm a contractor and working with Jay King, another XMTS member on PSD with the CIVPOL program...I always tell everyone, "I promise to keep my *** down if you keep your chin up"...The gloves are nomex for flash protection and everything else is Kevlar as I am allergic to lead...LOL.

I'll let you guys know when I'm a day or two short...Thanks for everything XMTS, you've made the time fly.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all and your loved ones.
