Kerry,

(Sending this to you off list)

It's weird to hear that WGU requires Silverlight.  I'll keep that in 
mind when I consider which college to go to for my Master's.

By the way, I am that Army Reserves E-4 guy that was at the November 
ALE-NW meetup.   I subscribe to a 25 series list that is a good source 
of Army IT information.  If you're interested, I can forward the info.

Thank you,
Paul Storey
