Hi Freddy. This wasn't actually an "Opt In" post (just a heads up for class that the materials had arrived) but I'll score you points on it since you did some reasonable investigation of it. Attention to detail is important for military work so please keep that in mind as a lesson from this.
ReplyDeleteWhat questions could we ask on this subject that could give it more depth to be "Opt In" worthy?
Hi Freddy,
