If any of the first characters of the original input were lower case, this probably wouldn't work.

Well, I might as well add the solution I ended up using as it was my question that kicked this off...

 

I ended up going with REGEX.

 

 

REGEX_Replace([Input Data], "\B[aeiouAEIOU]", '')

 

 

In the real world, I modified the solution to keep inputs like You as You and not Y.  I also adjusted it to ignore acronyms such as Universal UAS Ground Control to be Unvrsl UAS Grnd Cntrl etc.
