If you don’t like what the CEO and Board of Directors are doing or if you like what the CEO and Board of Directors are doing drop them an email and tell them what you think. Let them know who really is in charge of the USAWP – money is! Since the theme of this article is movies you may like to see Liza Minnelli and Joel Grey’s rendition of the song Money Makes the World Go Round. Never let the CEO and Board of directors forget who it is they should be trying to please. If the CEO or Board of Directors try to place torpedoes of reprisals in your way then remember what Admiral David Glasgow Farragut said and did "Damn the torpedoes, full speedahead!"
