1. IT HAS BEEN APPARENT THAT SOME MEMBERS PERHAPS FEELING JILTED BY
THE SYSTEM HAVE STOPPED PARTICIPATING OR QUIT COMMUNICATING. THIS
SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.
2. I HAVE SPENT MORE THAN FORTY YEARS OF MY LIFE WORKING FOR NMCM IN
ONE CAPACITY OR ANOTHER. THAT IS LONGER THAN I EVER WORKED AT ANY
PAYING JOB, RAISING CHILDREN OR ANY OTHER ACTIVITY THAT YOU CAN
THINK OF. I FEEL IN MY HEART THAT THE NAVY DEPARTMENT HAS SPIT IN
MY FACE AND LET ME DOWN. I AM, TO PUT IT VERY SIMPLY, HEARTBROKEN.
3. HOWEVER, I STILL PRACTICE THE VIRTUES THAT WERE TAUGHT ME BY
MY FAMILY, CHURCH AND MARS. I TRY TO SEE THE NECESSITY OF MOVING
ON WITH TECHNOLOGY AND ELIMINATING USELESS SYSTEMS AND REPLACING
THEM WITH MORE EFFECTIVE, EFFICIENT SYSTEMS. I CAN UNDERSTAND
THAT MARS, AS WE KNOW IT, MAY HAVE TO GO AWAY.
4. I AM, HOWEVER, UNWILLING TO GIVE UP, THROW IN THE TOWEL UNTIL
THE VERY FINAL HOUR THAT THE SYSTEM, THAT I SO LOVE, LIVES. I AM
HOPING THAT I DON'T OUT LIVE THE SYSTEM. I HOPE THAT IT WILL, IN
SOME FORM OR OTHER, LIVE WELL BEYOND MY EARTHLY EXISTANCE.
5. I INTEND TO STAY ACTIVE UNTIL THE BITTER END AND DO WHATEVER I
CAN TO RESHAPE, MELD THE NMCM ORGANIZATION INTO A USEFUL, VIABLE
SYSTEM THAT CAN ADAPT TO THE CHANGING NEEDS OF OUR COUNTRY.
NATURAL DISASTERS AND OTHER ECOM EVENTS HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR
NATURE BUT TECHNOLOGY HAS RESHAPED THE WAY THAT FIRST RESPONDERS
REACT TO THEM. THEY REACT UTILIZING NEW TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES THAT
PRODUCE BETTER RESULTS IN SUPPRESSING THE PROBLEM(S). THEY MUST DO
THAT, FOR IT IS THE END RESULT THAT REALLY MATTERS IN THEIR LINE OF
WORK.
6. IF WE SHOW THE NAVY DEPARTMENT THAT WE CAN ADAPT AND BECOME
ONE OF THE NEW TOOLS THAT THEY CAN USE TO ACCOMPLISH THEIR TASKS,
WE HAVE A GOOD CHANCE FOR SURVIVING THE BUDGETARY GUILLOTINE. 
THEY WANT AND NEED TO INVEST IN THE THINGS/SYSTEMS THAT GIVE THEM
THE MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK. WE HAVE TO CREATE THAT SYSTEM.
7. IF YOU WANT TO QUIT, THEN RESIGN. DON'T JUST STOP PARTICIPATING
AND COMMUNICATING AND MAKING IT HARDER ON THE REST OF US. WE DON'T
NEED ANY MORE PROBLEMS TO SOLVE, BUTTONS TO PUSH. WE NEED HELP IN
IDENTIFYING THE WAYS THAT WE CAN EVOLVE INTO A USEFUL SYSTEM THAT
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT WILL FEEL GOOD ABOUT SUPPORTING AND INVESTING
IN. 
8. PACIFIC AREA, PROUDLY SERVING THE BEST WITH THE BEST.
