Yeah, thank you. Just following along with the conversation about the 50 potential retirees in FY27. Does that mean we will see 2 academies in 2027 as well? Member Baldwin Day, through the Chair, I fully expect to do 2 academies in 2027. And is there any universe in which that would be insufficient to staff based on the number of separations we expect?
