NSC 2009

I purchased my ticket. However, I am NOT flying into MGM. I got a round trip ticket from BOS to ATL for $87.00. I can rent a car for the entire week and fly to and from for less than a ticket into MGM. I don't mind the 2.5 hour drive, plus...I'll have a car for the week :-P

When I was on staff at E-Tech a few years back, I made the ATL to MGM trip 3 times on arrival day. What a pain that was...

Just for FYI : Got notification via email that lodging will be free!!!!!!!!! The Air Force is allowing us to stay in the OTS dorm. Room mates will be assigned if you dont pick one by 0CT 1.

I saw the National Press release about the NSC somebody had better tell them that COL Jake Jacobs USAF is really COL Jake Jacobs US Army.

How much did lodging cost after all was said and done?

Fifinella · October 24, 2009, 06:33:00 PM

^^ $10 for sheets and towels.

That's it? That is cheaper than my RSC this year. So the talk about the rooms being $28 -$39 was blown out of portion?

Initially, the lodging was going to be in the base hotel and was not going to be "free." The expected rate was ~35-40/night.

however, last minute they found some accommodations at the Squadron Officer School dorms - for free. We only had to put a $50.00 deposit on our room key (in case it was lost) and pay $10.00 for sheets and towels.

So it could have been more, we were expecting to pay more until about a week prior to the event.

Sweet! Myself, my Chaplain and a fellow Sqd Cmndr are planning on attending next year. The estimated cost for lodging was really disheartening. I hope they can work the same accomidations next year.

I highly recommend it. Especially if they are able to arrange the same lodging for next year. We didn't have wireless access in the dorm, but you can't really complain considering the price!

And now I'm like you jd...need to scan a couple of participation letters & send in the CAPF24.

Time for me to go again for the third time (86, 95). Once a decade should do it.

Minor correction - OTS dorms. Can't complain for the price. Very convenient location. How long since *you* slept in bunk beds?

CAPSGT · October 25, 2009, 01:13:00 AM

well, for me it's been less than 24 hours since I slept in a bunk bed

Sure will be nice to sleep in my full sized bed tonight.

It was an absolute blast meeting and working with everyone this week. Now we just need to get some pictures up.
