The Florida Wing PDW's are great, but I feel that rather than having the Wing host them, the Groups should. It always seems that there is a loooong way to travel if you need one. God forbid if you're in P'cola and the SLS is in Miami. That's close to 1500 miles roundtrip. If 2 or 3 groups joined together they could arrange to have these courses quarterly on a fairly close commute.

Note that NHQ will only pay for 1 SLS per wing, per year.  Now if you could organize 1 SLS with various sites, like at group. Just have a master CAPF 11 with all the names, etc. . . .

It might be streaching the regs a bit though.

Yeah, but there is relatively little cost running one....so the pittance NHQ doles out really shouldn't make a difference.

A penny saved is a penny earned.  And if I can keep my penny, I will.

Not any more.  We found that out when we were planning the one we're holding in two weeks.

Only if you give me a dollar first.

Don't be silly.  I know money.  Heck, I just got two $180 compact refrigerators from Sears for $95 each.   :)

I will just tell the IRS that you have their penny.   :angel:

I got them back.  This is what we call a no-interest loan to the government.

All,

I really appreciate the responces.  I've considered the PDW format.  I will see if that's feasible.  Some concern is good instructors. 

Thanks again.

Actually my reply in the other thread gave me an idea....

I'd favor the prior, but definitely not the later...

If you have the latter, you will have more female officers in attendance..not a bad deal, especially if you are single....

I hate it when I'm the spoiler of people having a good time, but...just remember there are likely cadets reading these posts.
