Regarding the vacant civilian positions, the Department just released several job announcements for certain civilian positions, so hopefully they will get some interest in those vacant positions. But as he mentioned before it has been incredibly difficult for them to fill the vacancies especially the civilian vacancies for a variety of reasons, so they have been looking at t heir long- term vacancies to see what can do in terms of possibly modifying the job descriptions or reclassify those positions, so they can find applicants to fill those positions.
