Thanks to our sponsor, National University. National University knows how important flexibility is

for busy adults going back to school. After all, NU was founded by a U.S. Navy veteran.

That's why NU offers year-round enrollment, as well as four and eight-week online course

options, masters degrees, and doctoral programs in the most high-demand fields so veterans and

service members can advance their careers. NU is a yellow ribbon school and accepts the post-911

GI Bill while offering veterans help to cover what the GI Bill may not. To find out more,

Dynamics FB111 to the consolidated B-24 liberator and strategic bomber flight tests. Never mind the

announcements. Listener questions can wait. Let's get straight to it. With your host, former U.S. Air Force
