Raymond Thomas' presentation, which is probably more useful for the job site, uses a simple dichotomy between arrival and departure, so I will try to reproduce his work in that manner below:
NOTES: 1. I got this from Raymond, but Destiny had her own version of this which I was too slow to write down properly. Therefore, I am learning mostly from Raymond here. My bad. 2. Unlike Raymond's list, I pull the overlapping items into their own sections. This is NOT necessarily the most effective leading, but is to help me lead. I'll try to have conversations with experienced personnel when I can get somebody's time on it and then add comments if there is anything helpful about it.
