A new MI is something that we don't see very often. So please help me welcome and congratulate the newest one; Maximum Ordinate.  :partytime:
Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add "within the limits of the law" because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.  Thomas Jefferson

For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.  H. L. Mencken

I was wondering the same thing in the land of AS acronyms. I then came across MOs post and am assuming from his title MI means Master Instructor.

Congratulations MO!

Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery

Few promotions in AS are as warranted as this one. Rusty has been doing MI things since he was a SB, and seemingly without effort. I'm sure that he has worked hard every step of the way to this point, but his poise and confidence that he has demonstrated on the line since the first event that I had the privilege of working with him indicated that he was born to do this.

Well done, sir! I am proud to call you my friend, and one of my mentors.

In liberty,
