I lost 1K status between 2008 and 2010 due to not traveling much during those times (ramping up in 2010). I made UGS in 2003, 2005 and 2006 but essentially stopped traveling due to job change in 2006. I was soft bumped to 1K in 2007. I was a 1K for 13 consecutive years from 1995 (late 1994 1K status) through 2007. I have been 1K now 5 additional years and re-qualified for 2016 1K back in August of this year. That makes me 18 years out of the past 21 years as a 1K. Not quite PaulMCO territory but maybe close enough for a cigar.
