Unfortunately, like NDD, I'm no longer active, so getting to a Level I course isn't possible. If I could, it would be very interesting to see.

Of course, most of the soldiers I run into training on their own are 11B's, 18X's, etc. I am always surprised at how many soldiers here on Bragg outside of the Combat Arms MOS's train. I know we are a bit of an anomaly here, because we have been so active with MACP, even writing in a section into the Division 350-1. As an example, it is public knowledge that 3 of 4 82nd BCT's are deplyed right now. Still, from 1 BCT and the "other units" here on Bragg, each month I fill every class to the maximum capacity of about 75 in Level I and 30 in Level II.
I know on many of the posts they do not have the COC support like we do, but it is growing. I know the program directors in Carson, Okinawa, Campbell, Richardson, etc. and they have great programs. Still, many units are not making the progress that we are. In fact, I will get guys from other posts that TDY to Bragg to take MACP courses from me because the Benning dates do not match up with their schedule.
Razor, active or not you are always welcome. Seriously, you ever have the time, just say the word. If you are out by Carson, I have a good friend that runs the program for the post and supports all the units in MACP there as well.
