Ocala is about 5 hours north of Miami, David. Mail around here seems to go through Gainesville and Jacksonville. I don't know if Ocala even has a sorting facility.
Way back when I was still working, somebody figured out that to make up the difference of early retirement and waiting for the "full" benefit would take 17 years. I don't know how true that is and there's no guarantee that a person will live long enough to reap the higher amount.
There's one on my bench for an IPMS review. Haven't gotten into much yet but it seems to be a very nice kit. Going to go with metallic grey with a black & grey interior. There's no extra parts in the box that I see so it'll be a pretty much out of the box build except for flocking, BMF, and some engine detail. I guess that would make it factor stock.
Bummer. You're the first person in 30 years that has had a complaint, Greg. I'll stop wearing it under my hat even though I believe I've earned the right.
When I volunteer at The Wall and it's cold I wear a bandanna under my hat. The only volunteer hat I have is mesh and the bandanna helps with the cold. The bandanna is stars & stripes, red, white, and blue. Never had any complaints from anyone.
The new and improved version seems to work OK for me.
I don't like the disappearance of "New Content". It seems when I reply to a post that the post then disappears.
I'm sure I'll get used to the new version given enough time. I'm very happy that the MCM forum is still here.
