    09/10 Budget Impact on PRes - Unit stand-downs, Class B Freeze, and so on!

    I haven't been on here in a couple of years...however after today I had to check in and see the buzz on the loss of the Cas B's.  I've been on a casual Class B for the last year and a half, @ 1 year contracts.  Today I was told that come 1 Apr, I no longer have a job.  That's fine...however...
