 RN>>>>>>>>>> I'll stand down until then.

 JD>>>>>>>>>> Good idea <G>

 RN>>>>>>>>> That will give you time to figure out what the
 RN>>>>>>>>> opposite of stand down is. (-:

 JD>>>>>>>>> Sit up?

 RN>>>>>>>> No.  Would you like another guess or two?  (-:

 PQ>>>>>>> An ex-Air Force wallah wouldn't have a clue. Make
 PQ>>>>>>> him squirm. :)

 JD>>>>>> See my answer to Roger <G>

 PQ>>>>> Keep twisting. You may twig to it yet.[smirk]

 JD>>>> Might also have different meanings, depending on
 JD>>>> which military of course.

 PQ>>> Yep, hence my remark.

 JD>>>> Stand down order means to stop and go relax.  We have
 JD>>>> been (as a base) been
 JD>>>> stood down for weather related stuff, Like a foot or
 JD>>>> more of snow, or extremely high temperatures.

 PQ>>> Yeah. But Roger was prompting for the reverse of
 PQ>>> 'stand down'. Wanna try for another spin of the wheel? 
 PQ>>> 8-)

 JD>> Well I know of no other reverse then to get back to work.

 PQ> TBH, I don't have an exact idea as to what Roger may be thinking. For the

 PQ> yourself.

Must have been a long day <G>  Sunrise can be quite early and especially in
summer, sunset can be quite late.  Report for duty in the morning, and stand
down at nigh.


 PQ> Mmm... I wonder if this is what Roger has in mind? Roger, what say you?
 PQ> ;-)
