Congrats! Get that rig set up so you can get on the air when your call gets listed! Keep studying so you can get the general right away too, before you forget what you just learned.
Good!!
Why quit with the General?
Then there's always the GROL.
And if you really get bored, try knitting! Can't figure out where the @#$$ you start a pattern yet. But I have learned how to tie a knot. I can't believe women do this @#$% all the time! Weird...ain't it?
