Rich, you have to be very proud of your daughters. Are they still in the military?

@bob-jackman Catherine is or was now a full lieutenant in the Reserve. The Reserve is so screwed up after the Obama years that she's neither been called for active duty or training assignments so she can't even find out her actual status. Jackie is out although oddly she's sailing for the Navy/DARPA testing and deploying the next gen sub detection arrays as a private contractor. She had some interesting experiences in the Mediterranean when the Ukraine war broke out.
And yes, I'm incredibly proud of both of them.
