FAQ:
What if I'm a Senior Member staffing MLA?
Please register! We are working closely with the MLA School Directors to ensure that the TLC classes do not disrupt or greatly conflict with the school schedules. You will be able to staff MLA and take TLC concurrently. (Your meals will be paid for via the MLA budget)
What if I'm a Senior Member not staffing MLA?
Please attend! You will have a great opportunity to enhance your learning by attending TLC and also get to observe part of a major cadet activity. This will be an experience to not only learn about cadet activities in a classroom, but be able to witness one first-hand!
Do I have to stay overnight?
Ideally, yes. If you are not within commuting-distance of Camp Ripley, we recommend that you stay overnight as these courses will cross two days.
What are the housing options?
If you are staffing MLA, your housing will be coordinated via the MLA staff.
If you are not staffing MLA, here are your options:
- Free housing - BOQ (bring your own linens, sheets, blankets, toiletries, etc)
- Paid housing ~$35/night - MSQ (hotel room)
