Buck, Thanks for your help. That was it! I had it turned upside down: 713037/BUCK/QPADEV0001/A. Thanks for re-iterating what you must have said a zillion times: this time in a specific term that all of a sudden clicked. You presumed correctly - no committment control - anywhere. My last contract (before going back to perm) is where we did service programs. There were several of us contractors and we all HAD to write/use them. It was SO cool to learn this stuff, but we never had to worry about OPM....that I know of. .. Big THANKS to Bob E and Chris T at 1stam. And once again...thank you so much Buck. My boss will be thrilled to know I've quit dragging my heels.
