Well, it's this weekend, and as of last night I've somehow gotten roped into staffing the GTM course. So can I expect to see anyone else there?
depends if you can get me an inbound, a pilot, a plane, a prayer and moreso and harder my commander's approval... lol.
Good luck this weekend mate.
Look forward to seeing you there. I am teaching the GTL/Adv GT Course.

MWAHAHAHAHAHA.......the ground branch staff are apparantly the only ones high speed enough to be on CAP Talk.
well, do some recruitin' for CAPTalk this weekend. ;)
And Stay Safe!.
Oh yea, have a great time, wish I could be there with you.
Safety is a major emphasis here, particularly from Col Glass. One aircrew is already about to be grounded for flying in with less than adequate fuel reserves. I've got about an inch high pile of papers for safety briefings and ORMs.
The Ground Branch is incredible. 4 primary instructors (all Master GT Badge holders) and 2 assistant instructors. We've got about 73 students, all of whom (except the advanced course) are completely wet behind the ears. At the end of SAR College, MER Should be looking at a much larger ground force. As Lt Wiggs put it "all it takes is one person to come back from one of these activities to spark a whole squadron into participating in ES."
Will provide another update tomorrow night if I have time.
