If it was taken as condescending, my apology. But many of the posts are simply inaccurate and display a lack of knowledge of the program. It is sort of like the party I attended years ago and some of the pilot were talking about the Shuttle. Some were talking about the re-entry and were sure about their information. One fellow I had yet to meet simply said, "That is not correct." When a few argued that they *knew* what they were talking about and what kind of experience did he have to rebut them, he simply said that he had flown the Shuttle a few times. And he had...

I did the program. I am now retired and no longer carry but I was very impressed with the dedication of those teaching and those attending. Everyone understood this was not some a game of airplane cops and robbers. Goofballs, hotdogs, cowboys and rogues intrigued with impressing people were gone by the end of class.

Do you have first hand knowledge of the program?
