Thanks for the tip.

I plan on doing some changes now that I've been provided with Lockwood's actual signature and the info about flag secretaries.

PS - My Woo Poo U classmate had a dad who would always make reservations to eat at the naval officer's club near where he was stationed in the Army years ago. He would call and say, "This is Captain (his rank in the Army at the time) So-and-So. I need a reservation. Assuming that he was a naval captain, he would always get a good table and never had to wait. I don't know if the staff at the club ever caught on, but I'm sure he got some stares from all the O-6 captains around him.
Probably really sucked for the navy O-6 that happened to reserve a spot a the Army O club. Probably would think he was getting a ****ty table because the don't like sailors.
