20 July 1999

To all JOLDTS attendees.... 

1.  As promised attached is Gen Bambrough's professional reading list (done as word 6.0-I hope). 

2.  I would like to know your thoughts on the Saturday outdoor exercises.  I would appreciate having your personal "top 5".  Please email them to me-and any recommendations on how to do the field day next time. 

3.  Also, I am still working the feedback sheets.  Good comments-thanks to all for your kind thoughts and suggestions.  The second time around is always easier "been there and done that,” means an awful lot.  So, your ideas and suggestions will be worked into future JO seminars.  The next event will be the traditional Reserve Components Junior Officer Professional Development Seminar (RCJOPDS)- which is now in its 15th season-to be held in conjunction with the ROA's Mid-Winter Conference in Washington DC 23-26 January 2000.  Details will be published in the ROA's THE OFFICER Magazine, as well as be on the ROA's web page (www.roa.org) and specific participation details will be sent out by the respective services. 

4.  Don't forget that ROA members are eligible for the Henry J. Reilly memorial Graduate scholarships.  There were 35 recipients this year out of approximately 40 applicants-not bad odds! 

5.  I am using the email address you provided when registering.  If you would like a different e-mail address used for future "Anaheim Alumni" updates, please advise. 

Anaheim was a "Super Hooah"-and you made it that way! 

From our Port Orchard Washington home where most of my still packed boxes remain packed...
