NSC 2009

[dwb]

My application was sent to NHQ last week.  Next up: trying to convince my employer to pay for it as a professional development expense.

My application is in and the VAWG/CC told me he approved it.  I have permission to fly C-17 in one of our G1000 aircraft from MER to Maxwell.   I'm looking for another who would like to share the C-17 costs down and back.    From my base in Danville Va, it flight plans out to approximately 3.5 hrs one way and we can land right on Maxwell's runway.

email directly to me if you're in MER and want to talk about sharing a ride:  gjackson@gamewood.net

I hope it will be good, I hear many good things about it.

It is the best Senior Member Activity CAP has to offer.

Make some contacts, because you never know when it will benefit you.

Also get a chance to go to the Montgomery Brewing Co.  It is a restaurant that brews their own beer. The beer is fantastic, and they have live music most nights.  The usual guests are between 35 and 65, so it fits our age group perfectly!!  The "Brew Pub" as it is known locally has ads on base, or ask the BOQ desk.

That is where Seminar 5 had dinner the first evening of the '08 NSC.    It is located downtown -- so you get a feel of the local community.  Not a "franchise" by any means.
Food is great and cost is reasonable.  Great place to hang out.

Does any person know how much lodging runs a night at NSC?

[RickFranz]

The email I received yesterday stated lodging would be betwee $28.00 to $35.00 a night.

[Strick]

Rick, thanks for the info.....  I applied yesterday and just need the wing cc to sign off.   Going to have to start looking for a flight  from NY to AL.  I wish I still lived in FL because I would just drive up.

[Strick]

Just for FYI, I called the Unviersity Inn at Maxewell AFB and the service desk stated that as of 1 OCT the room fee wil be 39.00 per night.  It sucks because I was told it would cost me 28.00 per night.   I guess I wont be going now!    

[dwb]

I had to rescind my application, I just can't swing the coin to get down there and spend a week in lodging. 

I'll go when I get another free ticket on United.

[Strick]

That sucks DWB.......  These are hard times for people and CAP can get very expensive.   With the right type of budget I still might get to go.   The issue right now to get to go is to find a cheaper plane ticket.   If I can find the ticket for under $250.. Then IT MIGHT HAPPEM .

D'Oh...the average age for the school just went WAY up... 

[CAPSGT]

Well, I'm still planning to go, so I'll help to drag the average age down. 

[Strick]

What age do you think the youngest memeber might be? , I was the youngest at the RSC 

[jimmydeanno]

Yeah, I was the youngest at my RSC, I was 25 at the time.  I'm just waiting for my confirmation for NSC and I'm 27.  Not sure about CAPSGT, but he's one of the younger guys, I think...

[Camas]

D'Oh...the average age for the school just went WAY up... 

I guess I wont be going now!   

I'll help keep the age average down as I won't be going either. Had to buy some tires for my beater of a car plus a trip to Illinois to see family earlier this summer.

[Strick]

Thank GOD, I will not be the youngest if I go  :clap: , I am 29.   

[keystone102]

When I went to NSC in 1976 I was a 19 year old Warrant Officer. Any 18 year olds NSC graduates out there? Obviously the requirements for attending have changed since then.

[Fifinella]

I am planning to go if my promotion is approved in time.  And I will have my POV.  As far as my age...a lady never tells. 

[jimmydeanno]

Alright, just got my acceptance e-mail today.  Look out Alabama! Here I Come!

ROLL TIDE!

[CAPSGT]

Yeah, I was the youngest at my RSC, I was 25 at the time.  I'm just waiting for my confirmation for NSC and I'm 27.  Not sure about CAPSGT, but he's one of the younger guys, I think...

Yeah, I've got you beat for potentially being the youngest student there.  I'm 26.  I was a few days shy of 25 when I went to RSC and was the youngest student there.

[Strick]

Ok folks, here I come.......  just purchased the plane ticket.  I figure that the cost increase in the lodging isn't going to get any cheaper in the coming years so I guess I will go now.  looks like my birth day present to myself this year is the NSC .
