Anybody ever staff it as a SM?

Follow SarDragon's suggestion. Everything you need to know is published on the NCSA site. And as SarDragon also pointed out, don't just meet the standard; crush it.

Just out of curiosity, why would gathering intelligence be frowned upon? People shouldn't be well informed? Or does G2 have a different meaning vis-à-vis CAP/PJOC course?

That opportunity is diminished as info is shared. It's one reason you won't find a lot of info on the course here or elsewhere. The staff and instructors spend an incredible amount of time prepping to keep the course special. As mentioned, everything a cadet needs to know in advance, including a training program, is available on the NCSA page. Any additional info a cadet may need will be provided once they are accepted to the course.

I always get concerned when people restrict information for no useful purpose. However as I have no intention of attending the PJOC course as an SM I have no dog in the hunt, enjoy the "secret squirrel"
Yes and attempting to G2 the course from any angle is highly frowned upon (those that have attended this course or APJOC understand this).
This is a strange attitude. One can get a download of what to expect @ SWCS... why not a cadet NCSA?
In my experience, there are events whose particulars should come as a bit of a surprise, with a minimum of knowledge ahead of time. Two I can think of right off the bat are SERE School and USN Chief's initiation. People who have been through them don't talk about what they went through with those who haven't. There's a rite of passage involved. I think PJOC has a similar policy.
I just want to know what the SM staff role is for the course. You can keep all the super secret activities like push-ups and knifing sentries behind the OPSEC curtain.
