approval, you were allowed two hours a week to help in a school.  As soon as
            I learned of the program, I signed up.  Since retirement, I have continued to

            help, but now I can go twice a week and I especially like helping the students
            with math.



            I am Larry David Leiby and I served in the Department of the Army for over
            42 years.  During my entire lengthy career, I was associated with the test and
            evaluation (T&E) discipline in support of the Defense acquisition process.

            During my 25 years as an operations research and system analyst (OR/SA), I
            had the responsibility of designing operational tests and analyzing the
            resultant credible data in support of an independent system evaluation.  Each
            operational test had the proposed system to be acquired subjected to as

            realistic as possible wartime environment. The independent system evaluation
            addressed the proposed system’s operational effectiveness, operational
            suitability, and survivability.


            An independent system evaluation was presented to the Army System
            Acquisition and Review Council for decision to acquire the system.

            Depending on the potential impact of the proposed system on the United State
            Armed Forces, the independent system evaluation would support the Defense
            Acquisition Board.


            Up to this point of my career, two highlights of my career were being the lead
            OR/SA on the PATRIOT air defense system and Apache AH-64 attack
            helicopter.  Both systems were instrumental to the U.S. forces in Operation
            Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi Freedom.


            During my last 17 years as a Department of Army civil servant, I worked
            within the Headquarters, Department of the Army.  In this capacity, I was

            responsible for developing and interpreting Army T&E policy and procedures.
            I authorized Army Regulation 73-1, which dealt with T&E policy.  Prior to my
            retirement, I prepared the Department of the Army Pamphlet 73-1, which

            contains the procedure to carry our Army T&E procedures.


            I am Doris McAdams a Veteran and I worked for the Department of Defense

            for 38 years.  I was an active duty member of the Air Force before beginning
            my civilian career with the Department of the Navy.   While working for the
            Navy, I held many positions; however, the most rewarding was developing

            and implementing financial management systems.  In 1991, I was a part of the
