I don't know if it's me or if there's something in the water around here....  But I can't seem to hold onto my staff....  Last week my Webmaster gets promoted to become Houston's ATM, and this week my Facility Engineer gets promoted to VATUSA Division Director :)

 

Anyway, without further ado:

I'm the FE at ZOB, so if the new team would like pointers or tips, I'd be glad to help!

[Don Desfosse]

Awesome, appreciate that!  We can use the help!

I'll second GA's offer of guidance with one of my own.

 

I spent a year or so as ZMP's FE, and still have quit a bit of involvement in that unit under Logan Gloss now.
