On another note, I believe you're right about the LINES timeframe being 97-98, as MAJ Whalen (commanding A Co) was sending cadre down to LeJeune in early 97 to become instructors to teach the officer students during morning PT.

Yes Mike still has a contract with 10th Group. From what I know he is only available during PT hours in the ISOFAC. Unfortunately as a Kempo guy, his techniqe really requires a lot of practice and repitition wihtout much physical exersion. Consequently most of the ODAs dont sacrifice thier PT time to learn this.
Last year Pat Flatley got the Group Commanders approval to build a training room next door to the existing mat room. Bottom floor is covered wall to wall and up 4' on the wall in mats. One of the guys in 2nd Battalion has trained with Ralph Gracie since he was a kid so three days a week he was conducting classes there, (deployed now). Upstairs Pat has a pretty extensive Mui Thai room with speed bags, heavy bags, and all of the force on force equipment to run some pretty exhausting sessions.
