Mike G, thanks for finding he right link. I got two from Col Brown and apparently they are not the same.
There are only two people on the ballot that are not endorsed by the Nominating Committee and 35 are. The more you vote for takes support away from the one(s) you really want. Guess it is like Ronald Reagan said, " a rising tide floats all boats" I generally vote for about ten and ten is the number Col Brown normally endorses. I go to his list as he has worked with the folks there three years and knows who he wants. I know several of the directors he is supporting and they are solid or he would not put his name over theirs.
The Nominating committee only endorses those people who got on the board by previously running as a petition candidate. S
I can't get on AR forum with AOL server but the below RED seems to indicate that I am "black rifle people".
I was detailed to conduct the M16A1E1 Technical Feasibility Testing but first I had to pass Maj. Bruce Wincentsen's inspection and he drove up to Aberdeen just to see who was going to conduct his test. I was directed to go to TECOM Conference Room and when I walked in there stood Wincentsen. We both started grinning and I walked up and we shook hands and the conversation went like this: He asked me what I was doing there. I told him I was going to be conducting the Technical Feasibility Testing on a new M16 and I asked him what he was doing there. He said, "I'm the Project Manager and I wanted to come up here to see who was going to run my test and you just made my day. He wanted my home phone number immediately and he gave me his and the TECOM Liaison Officer came in and Wincentsen told him he was completely satisfied with me running his test as we "already knew" each other.
Wincentsen went on to explain that we had been shooting against each other for the previous three years at Quantico and about 8 years before that at Camp Perry. He was affectionately known as "Ole Dad" to everyone. We still keep up with each other occasionally on the phone. He doesn't do computers.
