SUBJ: SMD BCST 31-04 UPCOMING CHANGE OF SMD

1. I WANT TO THANK THE MANY MEMBERS OF OREGON AND 
IDAHO ARMY MARS FOR THE SUPPORT GIVEN OVER THE 4
YEARS I HAVE BEEN AN SMD, AND THE TWO YEARS AS IDAHO
SMD.
2. WE HAVE MANY FINE MEMBERS IN BOTH STATES, AND IT
WAS A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE TO BE OF SERVICE TO ALL OF YOU
IN MANY WAYS/TIMES I HAD THE CHANCE TO DO SO.
3. I ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO DESIRE TO APPLY FOR THE SMD
POSITION IN BOTH STATES TO STEP UP AND SEND MESSAGE
TO WAMC NLT 30 JUL 04. 
4. I AM RESIGNING AS SMD FOR BOTH STATES AS WE NOW 
HAVE ENOUGH MEMBERS IN IDAHO TO MOVE FORWARD AND
SUPPORTIVE OF EACH OTHER, OTHER SERVICE MARS AND
OUR CLIENTS, CURRENT AND FUTURE. AND AS I HAVE AN
MRI AND SURGERY COMING UP SHORTLY (02 AUG 04) AND
WISH TO MAKE SURE THAT OREGON AND IDAHO COULD BE
ASSURED OF LEADERSHIP IN MY ABSENCE. 
5. I PLAN ON REMAINING IN ARMY MARS AS A REGULAR OLD
MEMBER AND MAY FROM TIME TO TIME VISIT IDAHO AND 
WASHINGTON NETS TO STAY IN TOUCH. 
6. I HAVE ALSO DISCUSSED WITH WAMC THOSE I FEEL ARE
VIABLE CANDIDATES IN EACH STATE FOR THE SMD POSITION,
AND THEY WILL BE CONTACTED IF NO ONE APPLIES, SO YOU
MAY WISH TO ENSURE THAT ALL STATIONS ON ALL NETS 
ARE AWARE OF THE RECRUITMENT. HIHI. 
7. APPRECIATE ALL STATIONS AND LOOK FORWARD TO 
SERVING WITH YOU AS WE CONTINUE PROUD, WILLING AND
READY TO SERVE PROFESSIONALLY.
