Re: Mr. Ben Hunwicks Promotion - COMMANDER
Welcome the Commander ranks, Ben. My favorite CDR perk is staring and ending your FREQ at any AAV hub.
Wisdom begins when you finally realize someone else is in charge of the universe.

Re: Mr. Ben Hunwicks Promotion - COMMANDER
In Miami, we have a relaxing room called Commander Corner. We have spared no expense in the creation of this area. It is hard to call 13,000 square feet a room but you will be amazed when seated comfortably next to our olympic size pool. We generously accept commanders starting and ending their FREQ's in the CC.Harold Henderson wrote:Welcome the Commander ranks, Ben.

Re: Mr. Ben Hunwicks Promotion - COMMANDER
Congratulations Ben on achieving Commander. Now you know all our secrets, just don't share them. Also don't let all the stripes weigh you down on landings as I sometimes do. Leaving and arriving at any Hub is nice, so take advantage of that.
