Most times we will meet at the Benning Club and you will be transported to the training event- please do not bring small children (under 12 years old) to these events as the noise level is very high; also if you are pregnant, please do not touch the weapons, as they have petroleum products on them

7. COMMON CONCERNS
How do I contact my husband when he is in the field? Family emergencies?
SDO (706)
