18Fs and S-2 support

[MtnGoat]

I didn't know what to name this. I know Groups S-2 typically suck for ODAs for some reason or another. Every Group has the different reason. Mainly the are supporting the BN Staff.

The topic is..Does your Group and Bn S-2s get money to send there guys to INTEL training, schools and whatevers. This is for the 18Fs out here mainly to answer but its open. How many Bn S-2s pass (turn) down training for INTEL training that BN S-2 PAX can't go to becuase lets say they are at school or on Red Cycle or at a Shooting school from BN. Does your S-2 pass down training that they get for ANB or GIS or whatever topic to your Companies?

So does your S-2 give your 18F's training also? Should they be?

92's can your BN pass down the schools and training to the 18F's??

We get some training here and there on ANB. GIS is so complicated that few people use it. Falconview is still the flavor of the rotation. Before we deploy generally the intel weenies both Bn. and ODA get together for a little while and make sure SOPs are in order. I.E. everybody is labeling everything the same so it can be e-mailed and merge correctly. I haven't had a problem so far with the boys at Bn. I can't speak to whether or not Bn. personell actually turns down school slots for intel stuff because they are otherwise preoccupied. I think I would be a little pissed if somebody blew off a slot to ESRI and didn't give somebody else the opportunity to attend. I don't know if that's happened.
