Randy, I wouldn’t count yourself out. The above is just discussing the hurdles you have to overcome and the reality of age waivers. There are several boards open right now and you still have an opportunity to get selected by units. I would go in 112% on applying and have a good gameplan of how you can essentially explain to a unit why you being…
