3 orange hats, you, Earl and Prescott... and you want me as well? Nevermind the firing line being crowded, the instructors will be fighting for room  ;)

I'll see if I can make it work, I haven't made it back to the range in Redmond since its first AS event.

Many hands make light work1 It would give us some time to take breaks, and really help the IIT0's along. I know the IIT2 that is going to be there will be no problem, and she will probably be helping the other IITs as well.

Just a thought!
