Oooh, this is depressing . . . I had five already in 2005. It’s now three and a half years later, and I’ve added only . . . three more. ☹

Nevertheless… pending some paperwork, **I GOT MY ACAS!!!**

I read that as ‘I GOT MY ABACUS’, which would have fit, too.

Yessir–FCAS is the goal. In fact, they’re taking the ability to sign reserve opinions away from new ACAS’s starting next year. If all goes well, I have 12 months to Fellowship… and then _no more exams_!
