I'll review this tomorrow.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I have changed Haynes command of the 41st National Guard (sourced from af.mil bio) to command of the 116th Observation Squadron, 41st National Guard Aviation, following the death of Commander Major John T. Fancher. This cited information is from a Felts Field Historic District application approved by the federal government. The cite says Major C. V. Haynes, but I do not know whether to put that National Guard rank in the article; if this passing mention of the rank is enough to support the article saying he served as acting major of the 116th.

I doubt that he was even temporarily promoted to major that early. He probably assumed command as a captain; a little unusual, but hardly unprecedented. Fix the capitalizations and I'll put this puppy to bed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
I have capitalized two words in one title: Every Inch a Soldier. If there are more to complete, I am not seeing them. Binksternet (talk) 17:01, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've gone ahead and done them, just to put this to bed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:32, 31 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
