Ok so here is the deal. I have been talking to paul at MTF (Milsaps Training Facility) in Cairo GA. The good people there have graciously volunteered their time and services to give those of us that are in the Military (any Branch) or retired from the military, a free two day school at their killer facility. The only thing you will need to bring is your bike, your gear and some money for a hotel room. The school starts on the 29th of April and goes through 1 May (29th in orientation). If you are intrested you can contact me at jason.l.hopkins@us.army.mil or paul at paul@mtfmx.com. I personally am really looking forward to this school as it will be almost right after I get back from this devil country (AKA Afghanistan) I look forward to riding with some of you out there.

yeah I love that they are showing their support for us military people. If you go to the website www.mtfmx.com the picture under military camp is of me and my men. I am the tall one with the barrett .50 cal sniper rifle. To let you know a little what its like over here, I humped that 43lbs rifle with another 50 lbs of ammo, 10lbs of water 36 lbs of Body Armor and other items up to the top of the mountains behind us.....and beyond lol

DC is big on supporting the Military, maybe talk to him about another story you can write for RacerX or Racerx Online...

I only did my four years and got out (wasn't for me). But I have the greatest respect for those that are in now or made the effort to spend the time to retire.

Can't say enough good about MTF for doing this...

I wish I could be there but that will be right around the time I am clearing for retirement so a Arizona to Georgia trip is probably out of the question. I do have a bitchin spare YZ125 here if you feel like poppin out to AZ for some riding!

You take it easy over there Brother. Thanks to you and your Joes for being on point.

This is an awesome thing to see.
Good for MTF doing something to thank our folks in uniform.

And thank you to all of you that wear that uni and defend us, stay safe and get home soon.

I didn't mean age limit on the low end. I figure you're going to be at least 17 if you are in the military. I meant age limit on the high end for people like me. Smile

Jason,
thank you for coming up with a great idea to show all of our military that we appreciate what they are doing for us and MTF for allowing this to take place at their facility.
