Quote from @Taz Zettergren: @Zach Lemaster Looks like I touched a nerve when that wasn't my intention.

I used to work with a company that would commission the ROTC and Service Academy initial medical examinations (DoDMERB) and the respect that I have for you young brave people grew daily in that role.Congratulations to you and your team on your success.

This was a nerve wrecking expereince with that balloon loan hanging over my head and having to be at work and trust the contractors to work on the home. 

That don't happen either.Someone said they must have struck a nerve and I suppose that's true.
