Great update and many thanks again! Some additional thoughts "so ya wanna be a hotshot". Not only should you take that phone call when it comes, BUT, ask if you could come by for a visit, some crews ask to come by, meet overhead, face-to-face is best. Some crews ask to come by, and go for a hike or run.
