Didn't DCAS just give the test for Assoc Staff Analyst and Staff Analyst. You would have to be able to be called once the list is established.

Hey, good to hear from you too. Sorry that I've been so busy and not had time to Subtalk! See you soon, hopefully before next holiday!

Which line are you on these days? I regularly ride the E and the J.
