Students prepping for the Jan 2010 Academy should note that each Academy is assigned a class number, two of them actually. The important one to remember right now is that your class is Ranger Academy Program 18, hence you will notice references to RAP18. RAP18 means you, and it also means I won't have to type Ranger Academy Program 18 every time I have information to post.
Also note that the "Important Date" list is starting to grow. These are by no means all of your classes, but are some of the more critical ones that absolutely, positively require attendance, so mark your calendars now.
You will receive a copy of the class schedule on a regular basis throughout the Academy, but there will be frequent changes - that's just the nature of the profession.

NRTI as we knew it is no more, and I don't know what will happen in the future. Technically, I'm still employed by the College, though am enjoying a paid hiatus, and working on everything I couldn't work on when I was spending 70 hours a week running the Program, like cleaning up from the tornado that hit, what, 7 years ago now? I'm also commissioned with a nearby county agency, actually answering to one of the more popular instructors, so I'm still trying to keep my hand in.
I'll continue to post information and news from grads and friends, and also want to keep current with LE news and references.
My College phone and e-mail are pretty much out of service, so I'll be setting up yet another account , so we can stay in touch.
