Do it!

I spent time holding at MRT's between my flying training posts and I would back up everything the others are saying. You were certainly able to hold with them before and I got a huge amount out of them and gave a lot of time in return - I did several callouts and over 50 weekends with them (the holds were long!). In return I got on some AT and MRT related courses and heaps of solid experience in the hills and in testing the limits of your nerves.
I kept it up until I joined the OCU and then I'm afraid the MRT just had to be dropped - shame though.
