I've no inclination to "just start cutting" without doing all the evaluation possible. My lack of knowledge on how to evaluate this is what led me to start this thread and pose the question. Are there other "tools and technology" that you know of that haven't been already suggested? If so, I could make good use of them now.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
