Four days later and negative contact. I am hoping that means it was a robust sale for GHQ and they are very busy. I am sure they can use it!
Eleven days, almost to the hour, between order confirmed and order shipped notices. I am sure some has to do with how to staff right now but I hope that most of it was due to just being really busy! It would be nice for them to come back from "the troubles" and then Covid with a vengeance.
(EDIT) Ordered late Sunday October 4th and arrived Monday evening October 19th. Did not even have to leave CONUS. That must have been a busy sale period! Except for Aviation, I only have one Attack Company so far, I am closing in on the last I can do for now on my 3rd Brigade. Still have not received anything from TRADOC on info on the J-Series TO&E's / TD&A's. About exhausted what pieces I have been able to find here and there on the changes from H-Series to J-Series or from J-Series to L-Series. Sometimes I found enough information to backtrack.
Just for fun I copied over my Excel workbook and redid the units for the 11th ACR. I have more than I need of almost everything to do the entire 11th except for a couple packs of Brads and most of the aviation. The 11th was what I was originally intending and convinced myself that a full armored brigade might be easier. (SURE...) I now have the 11th. And leftovers! In that case... (EDIT)

BRIGADE COMMANDER - What questions do you have regarding the H and J series? I have references on E, G, H, and early J series. They are made for use in class at the Armor and Infantry schools, as well as Command and General Staff college in the mid80s. I am trying to get to the point where I can scan them and provide PDF files, but am just not there yet.
I build units, usually to battalion level. I limit most units to the combat and other tracked vehicles, some select wheels. I strive for full wheels and tracks for a sample - say one H series tank and one H series mech. If I live long enough and can afford it, maybe all will get support vehicles.
PM me with questions. I don't have the non-divisional volume of Armor Reference Data for the G series, which is probably the most interesting because it covers the Vietnam war period, when there were quite a few changes in cavalry organizations. I do have it for the H and J. J and later are easily found and downloaded on line.

All blessings flow from a good mission statement.

Give credit. Take responsibility.

Short answer: everything. I will give you a better answer this evening. I need to head to the daily grind right now. But thank you for the response. As always!

Order was at the post office today safe and sound.
So shipping is 12 days including two weekends from GHQ to me here in Canada which given the current "normal" is fine by me.
I can not be 100% sure but I believe it moved by road from door to door.

PM sent. Sorry, it was not as brief as it should have been.

Panzergator, I just sent you an email. I have two PM's that are stuck in the Outbox. Cannot get them, or as it turns out, one to Don Scheef from more than a month ago to send. Others have in between so not sure why not these.

Hey Bde Cdr, is your inbox full? I've had cases in the past where my inbox was completely full and it locked my outgoing messages up as well. I had to delete my inbox messages to be able to send again.

It is not but the most puzzling part is even though, like Outlook at work, when it gets locked up due to space it shows the items in the Outbox in bold in the list but what is not true is apparently panzergator received the PM's. Outlook definitely does not still send the messages. Frustrating the Customer until I realize everything is blocked up again. Even now they still do not show sent and do not show in my Sent folder. At a loss at this point.
