Many thanks to the member who pointed out that Kyle is a retired Sgt Major, NOT a Master Sgt.

My mistake...we didn't have Sgts in the Navy. :)

Did you register? I don't think they have you....

I called today and Melinda should have sent you confirmation of payment. If not drop me another line. Got my hotel room and gear all squared away.

[Ron Flowers]

Guys...I am real sorry, but we have to cancel this one. The economy has taken a big bite out of training budgets, and it has shown up in our ability to get the numbers. I will look to reschgedule in our region in early 2010.

Again, sorry about that.

DAMMMM You're killing me. Guys on my team just chipped in the ammo to help with the cost of the class. Darn now I have to give it back. Thinking about the class was keeping my sanity. That's really too bad. Has your other outside vendor training been cancelled? Maybe some other time.

Dude..we both feel bad. I think the fear of the economy, and the consequent training budget cuts, really hurt us. No, other classes are still moving forward.... Two Strategos classes (Active Shooter Instructor and Low Light Strategies insyructor), TriCon is still a go next month for both Adv Combative Pistol and Combative Edged Weapons, and we have STS in late Aug. Of course, we have four NRA schools as well.

I am very sorry....I wanted in on this one, too.

Hey at least you are trying. I'll keep snooping. Stay safe.
