Hey Nik tell the wife she can get you a copy of F&I as a 'congratulation on your recent promotion' gift. hehehehe....

Congrats sir!!

[:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)][:)] Thank you all. I'm charging up the ranks at around one rank per annum...that batton is still tucked away in my rucksack but it is getting awfully close. Another 8 to 10 years and I should be there [:D][:D]

Congratulations, Nik.
It has been a joy fighting battles, again such an able opponet. Win or loose it has always been a well fought battle, and good sportmanship. You are Gentleman in the King's Army.

By the way could I swap Officers for those captured American Officers from Eutaw Springs?

Congratulations Sir
