But we are moving to what i would say is virtual recruiting. I have a broader question. Experts say you can anticipate the spread of the virus will will likelyate, and not exclude the military. I am wondering what worstcase scenario you see for the army in terms of how you will have to adjust. We are taking this day to day.
