Calling all Florida Appleseed instructors! We now have a whole new crop of instructors in training who have yet to benefit from the wonders of an IBC. The instructor boot camp is the fastest way known to develop solid instructing skills, grow in the mission of Appleseed, and have a really good time with some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I am now asking who might be up for such an adventure in November. The best date is looking like the weekend of November 17-18 but we need to find out who is in. Let me know if this date will work for you and if we can count on you and we will make it happen. The location is still being determined but we should know soon, based on the number of responses. Now really is the time for all good men (and women) to come to the aid of their country.
The American Constitution is remarkable for its simplicity; but can only suffice a people habitually correct in their actions, and would be utterly inadequate to the wants of a different nation.  Change the domestic habits of the Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter in the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government. - Francis Grund 1837

November is contingent upon family commitments and upcoming clinical trials that we are running here at the asylum. No, really...

The IBC in Palatka was one to be remembered! Quite a crop of top notch talent assembled and has done their instructors proud. A far cry from just 2 or 3 years ago in this state. Then it was Trey, Eric Brian and Paul covering the whole state...if you went to an AS back then, you have probably met ALL these guys. My first IBC was Paul, Brian and me. Palatka was pushing 20 orange hats. And great attitudes all around.

If you can make it folks, you will drink from the fire hose in a whole different way. And if the new Parramore Gang is there, you  are in for a big time!



Thanks to those guys for planting the seed.
But, the price they paid to win us our liberty? Few of us can comprehend it. Even fewer of us would want - or even be willing - to pay it. But all of us should know - at least - about it.

     Never forget. Just to remember, is to honor.  -Fred

Let's do this,
if we are doubling, we need to try two of these a year!
If you were an IIT at Palatkka it should be highly recommended but not mandatory.
We have a lot of people that picked up the orange, they need the inside scoop on how we instruct!
I too need my skills resharpened as only PHenrey,seems to be able to! ..:..

Alright. I'm in. we can hold it at my place again. Same rules apply. I will have space in the shop for folks to set up camp. The line will be set up for a live fire mock Appleseed.
I will have more tables available for classroom time. There will be a porta-john available. Big coolers of ice will be on hand. All I need from you guys is a commitment to show up.
A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks.

FYI: I just added some RO duties at my local range.

I cannot run an IBC / KDC on the following dates (unless there is a critical need and I will dump RO duty):
7/13
9/14
10/19

Which means the following are still open:

May 25/26 open.
June 22 to Aug 10 clear EXCEPT for weekend of 7/13-7/14
Oct 19 / 20, 26/27 open.
Sept 7/8, 28/29 open.
Oct 26/27 open.
Nov 23 - Dec 14 open.

KDC or IBC or both are in order for sure. I will also seek to run an IBC in SC ASAP, owing to a growing cadre there that would benefit from learning what I was taught by my mentors.

Let's get it on the books!

My vote is for sometime in the fall after the weather cools (potentially at least). I will be out of town for all of June and a part of July. October maybe? This will get us a good start for the high season here in Florida and we should have plenty of time to rearrange schedules in order to attend. Thoughts?
