Anybody going to this? I just signed up.

Anyone know what the closest airport is or if there's an easy way to ship ammo to a nearby location?

[Tm11387]

Yeah I'm attending, look into RDU (Raleigh-Durham,3 hours I think) or possibly Norfolk VA.

[chris914]

Norfolk is the closest airport as stated. You can get ammo in Moyock from the USTC. They have a truck that will even bring it out. I will get Dinger to get the contact information on the post for any that will need it.

This sounds like something I may be in town for.

Sounds like a plan my friend.

We'd love to have you attend. Just let me know if you need anything.

[krm375]

I got extended, wont be around there till day 3, I will see the calendar for more stuff, would have loved to be there for the LAV course.

[M4arc]

I'm IN! See you guys there.

[Larry Vickers]

Gang as always the USTC classes are special - great facility and great support - a quick heads up on a couple things that are not obvious;

1) You can get ammo from USTC - often the prices are very reasonable if you are flying in or coming from a long distance away - just be aware of that; it can be a big help

2) I usually prefer to stay on the facility at the Black Bear Inn whenever possible - just makes life easier for the class

Spring is here and the first 3 day carbine/pistol of the season is upon us - if you can make it I assure you it will be a great class

Be safe
