LCP Cai being a funny guy:
Of course, if you were at the CLT retreat at HTNS in Dec 2006, you
would know what happened. Better not say, lots of eyes and ears
around. Its all between us, I'm sure LCP Cai would rather want us
to keep quiet about it, than to let the whole wide world know about
it. 
Duty allowance:
check what LCP cai sent to your e-mail. The one regarding duty
allowance. It came with an IBG form. Got to fill that up, and we
can only start claiming when its $10 and above. 
Promotion to s/clt:
need to check. doesn't seem like 100 hours anymore in order for
promotion
