A letter of agreement between the Forrest Service an the Marine Corps permits the use of the area to train Marines in mountain and cold weather operations. The Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center (MCMWTC) is one of the Corps most remote and isolated post. The center was established in 1951 as a Cold Weather Battalion with a mission of providing cold weather training for replacement personnel bound for Korea.

MCMWTC operated on a full time basis until 1967 when it was placed in a caretaker status as a result of the Vietnam War. The training center was reactivated to a full-time command on May 19th 1976. The Marine Corps' Mountain Warfare Training Center, as a major subordinate element of Marine Air Ground Task Force Training Command, and with support from Marine Corps Installations - West, conducts unit and individual training courses to prepare USMC, Joint, and Allied Forces for operations in mountainous, high altitude, and cold weather environments in support of the Regional Combatant Commanders.

Tonight I taught my Introduction to Federalism class to the local Tea Party group, and I never thought I would get a reception like that. I thought to myself, "Do I have a new vocation?"

I"ll be giving the class next week to another Tea Party meeting in the area.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh...poor Jeff. He just fell over...I am chuckling at the visual. Glad you all had a good time.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Luv...((HUGS))

My day was non-stop and isn’t over yet. Did you have to go to work today? I needed another day off.

[fatima]

Yea fake pass out but he still got a dollar.Hard being 5 years old.He also stood in line for the girl’s spa on the back picnic table but after an hour ran to the money box and took his money back 2.00.He then took another 15.00 as he thought about how hard it was to stand in line,I think he might be a lawyer some day.

[Kathy in Alaska]

WOW! Publius, we are so proud of you. ((HUGS)) Willing to go you knew not where. Sounds like you got a really good reception. Did they have lots of good questions? We need a really gung-ho Tea Party going forward.
