Exercises Quotes
We've been at Camp Shelby, going through basic soldiering skills, everything from throwing hand grenades to low crawling, and down the road, we'll do some ground fire exercises, we'll do some field training exercises. Those are the basic soldiering skills, but here at the airport, we're getting back to our flying and mechanic skills, which is what we will be doing overseas.

We need an immediate supplemental appropriation right now -- for seamen hours, flying hours, training, for combined, for joint exercises, for backlot and real estate maintenance, for family housing. All of these are necessary right now. Otherwise a bunch of the efforts of the military will be shut down.

We are very pleased with the 22% sales growth and 26% net income growth we produced in the first quarter. Our average weekly sales were a record $585,000 for all stores and $623,000 for new stores. Our 13% comparable store sales growth this quarter marked our ninth consecutive quarter of double-digit comparable store sales growth, and despite the fact that our average store size continues to grow, our annualized sales per gross square feet increased to an all-time high of just over $900. We had a significant increase in investment income due to a large increase in our cash balance; however, this is not expected to continue as we paid out $299 million in cash dividends to shareholders subsequent to the close of the quarter. Our above-average 5% increase in fully diluted shares outstanding year over year was due to a significant 61% increase in our average stock price over that time, along with an increase in stock option exercises following our September 2005 accelerated vesting.
