<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">All,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The possibility of going home early has been extensively discussed. After consultation with
<span style="color:black">Science Leadership</span>, Kelly, Dan, and Stevie, we’ve come to the following conclusions:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0in" type="disc">
<li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Since we decided No-Go for today, we will consider science flights tomorrow, Thursday and possibly Friday, thus any plane leaving on Thursday will not
be possible.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If we have science flights Thursday or decide that Thursday and Friday are No-Go for science flights, then the G-III is free to leave whenever they are
ready, but not on Saturday or Sunday.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">If we have science flights Thursday or decide that Thursday and Friday are No-Go for science flights, then the P-3 is free to leave whenever they are
ready, but not on Saturday or Sunday; keep in mind, getting the P-3 ready to head back will require considerable effort including leaving Hangar 8 in a useable condition should it be needed during the hiatus between the ARCSIX spring and summer deployments.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The C-130 will not be able to leave before Monday for a number of reasons: crew rest for the pilots will make leaving on Friday difficult if not impossible;
the aircrew will have to check out the plane; equipment and luggage to go back will have to be palletized and loaded; Hangar 8 will have to be left in a useable condition should it be needed during the hiatus between the ARCSIX spring and summer deployments;
it is unreasonable to expect all of these tasks can be completed by Friday morning.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I recognize we have been in the field for a while and we want to get home. However, the 1 to 2 days we would get back early does not justify the unavoidable pressure we would put on our logistics people and
the added expense associated with the change in schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">I appreciate your dedication and hard work. The first deployment of ARCSIX has been an unqualified success. We should all take pride in what has been accomplished.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Be well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
