Sound Bites
- “Making it local…talking the current threats in a particular nation state, the capabilities that are there and the training behind that and the command structures and the links and how people communicate and the whole cultural side of how people operate. was so important.”
- “To see people coming back and saying, I’ve used your forms or I’ve used your method. We’ve had this type of job and we did this and we did that. And relate back to their training was just golden.”
- “They’re fiercely proud of that. And that’s something that I found really heartening…..you don’t see that type of pride. You don’t see people looking so smart and sharp and keen to learn.”
