Consuming a great deal of my time of late was the December 2012 Armed Forces Refit. It's run off a spreadsheet that was only partially automated and woefully out of date.

Enter Yacks.

He wasn't asked. He just saw what needed to be done and did it. This is what shit-hot operators do. They don't complain, they don't sniff around for reward, they see a job and they do it. Period. It is exactly this kind of thing, this attitude, I want to see more of. This is what gets things done. Moves us forward. This will get us where we want to go. Anything less and you are wasting oxygen.

Yacks worked through several iterations of the sheet with me. Each time he took my feedback, request for additional features, etc., and simply made them happen within hours of my asking. The new sheet is incredible. Fully automated. No more calculations by hand.

Following the next Vendetta event, we will pull this wonderful new sheet out and be done with our business in less time than ever before. Thanks to Yacks. Outstanding effort, brother. Pleasure to work with you.
