Hi there Ricky-
I actually attended the National Advanced Leadership Course (NALC) in North Fort while in ROTC (Univ. of Tampa). I think they call it 'LDAC' now (?). That was JUN-JUL 2002. It's basically our final exam for ROTC as far as practical leadership application (running battle drills, assuming garrison leadership positions up to CO, etc.) Pretty good time...

Hey Ricky
I was a Army firefighter back in the late 1970's my friend took orders from up at FT. Wainwright AK. to Yakima Proving grounds. Ever hear of a guy named Lary Trigger? I don''t know if he stayed there as a civilian or went home to MD after his nlistment was up.
