Hey there, Colonel. I hope you are doing well. I have a few questions for you. What was your starting MOS when you entered into the military? Did you go into the military knowing you'd be in for as long as you have been, especially to the point of where you are now?

You've already answered some of the parts of your hiring process for things such as apprentice. Every good company needs a good bit of background staff. What does your support structure look like? Do you use third parties to do your back-end stuff, or do you have your own internal team to help your business run smoothly? Infrastructure, support desk, etc.

My brother is a SGT in the Army National Guard, 15W. He did the smart thing out of highschool and went and enlisted. I kinda went the "I wanna go to college" route out of high-school and I regret it every moment. I was in Army JROTC and scored a 96 on the ASVAB way back in the day. I was going to try and get into the NUPOC program with the Navy, but that fell through when I had to leave college due to unforeseen circumstance. I honestly still want to get in, but it's been ten years since high-school for me and I don't know how well I'd do to enlist. I really wanted to do navy nuke stuff. Now, I work IT and feel like my dream is kind of beyond me now. I think I'm too old to enlist for the program I want, and I'll never finish my college degree to go through OCS.

That being said, I can still appreciate our service men and women and the risks they go through for us. I understand you are a busy man, so I appreciate you sharing your history! That's really neat to know.

Howdy there and congratulations on what you all have accomplished so far!

I admit I'm not too familiar with this sort of thing, though I've seen it mentioned a few times before. How does this experiment differ from what the folks down in Livingston, LA at LIGO do? It is just the method of detection used? I would assume something like LISA would be a lot more sensitive and what have you.

I've only been able to scan a bit through it since I'm working, but this is quite brilliant. Y'all wouldn't happen to be hiring anytime soon, would you?
