    Paul,

    I would like to sign up for this class, but am not sure if I will be able to make it. I Just volunteered to get off the IRR and back into the Army Reserves and will not know when my drill weekends are until I report to my unit (I'm still waiting for my orders).

    Is it possible to reserve a slot contingent on me finding out when my drill weekends are going to be? I should know the dates within a few weeks (at least I hope so).

    FYI, I attended the Vickers/Hackathorne Lowlight Carbine/Pistol class in Ohio last May.

    Thanks,
    Carlos

    Talk to your 1SGT. If he is a bit squared-away, he will try and accomidate your schedule to allow you to attend.

    What was that you said in the other thread about it being a good thing you weren't the one being dragged thru the mud during that Fallaujia drill?
