That sounds right, I think you're correct. That means he was getting ready to enter the corps in that fall.

I remember the tenseness but thought it normal as this was my first AC. On a positive note, my branch was full of fun loving, interesting guys. We'd parody some of those outside sourced tapes like the KISS video where Gene Simmons is throwing up blood, or the satanic ritual that culminated with the line, "Kiss... the GOAT!" :-) "Kiss... the GOAT" would induce gales of laughter for the reminder of the class. A guy from Montana named Glenn O. may have been my BC. I think he was 8th corps (might be wrong about that). I just found a photo of my branch. A good looking group of guys ;-)

Did you find Bob Stanley Acts 29 on YT? I have two songs from that album as MP3s, God First and First Fruits. I always loved those tunes. Also have a few others in MP3 format, Paul Vergilio's 1974 album, Good Seed (Living in Love), Brian Bliss (Sons of God), a few from PDSTRO. Perhaps these have all been shared here before, but if anyone is interested I'll make them shareable on Google Drive .

Hello T-Bone, I believe I attended this class as well. But I disposed of my diploma years ago during a Marie Kondo tidying flurry :-) During my class VPW stopped teaching for a day because the students were "so screwed up" that we needed time to get "our heads right" or some such thing. Does this ring a bell?

Too many times in TWI I saw folks that wouldn't rationally examine issues or problems. That was a misguided definition of believing. "LALALALALALALA "(with hands over ears) -- "I'm believing so I don't want to hear anything negative" Even in the business world, I can always spot the PMA guy -- he's the one with the smile plastered on his face saying, "Everything's great!!!" regardless if it is or not. One of the great books I have read that handles the subject of positive believing myths is Winning Through Intimidation. The author stresses that being honest with yourself, acknowledging reality, and preparation are the basis for any real personal confidence.

Are they still in? I was his first TC at Clemson about a million years ago.

So, sorry to detour the board for a question... but I have been out for 7+ years, busily making life for myself, and just recently found this board. I only know of CES peripherally -- JL founded the org after breaking away from TWI... yada.. yada...yada. I don't think they are in my neck of the woods (DC area) but am not sure. How big is this organization? Are a lot of former TWI'ers actively participating? Thanks in advance.... :)

Hi all, Been looking for my old friend Jay Summer for quite some time. I spent 3 weeks with him before he went into residence in 1979 building decks for people on Pawleys Island. We worked hard, made some money and had a blast. Anyone have any info? thanks
