Narrative:

At XX50 local on apr/xa/98, I was asked to relieve the asic to allow him to attend a briefing. I was asked to be in charge (controller in charge) of 6 sectors that I have no certification or knowledge about. This problem is caused because of poor staffing within the bonham speciality at ZFW.
