And so we're offering offsite training for those who want to ranger out at Apo. RANGERS- you know who you are!! Please let me know if you’re going to take a shift! We *know* you're coming- so grab your shift now while there's still good pickings!! For those who want to Ranger, but haven't had the opportunity for training yet, there will be a full Ranger training session on Sunday afternoon, May 3rd. The session will last for 3-4 hours of discussion and role-playing. We will learn from the best as Duney Dan, Master BRC Ranger bestows upon us priceless drops of Rangerly wisdom distilled from his many years on the Playa- don't miss this rare opportunity to become a part of our khaki family! Training is mandatory for those who haven’t yet been through training, but even if you’ve trained, come join us for the fun! For those of us who have radios, please bring your radio for practice. FRS/GMRS - Motorola brand is the best for compatibility reasons. Rangers- ah yes, the men and women in khaki, who help solve problems, reorient the lost, summon help, and keep smiles on the faces of their fellow participants. If you can’t make the training, or are just curious about finding out more about the art of Rangering, why not spend a shift as a Deputy Ranger? Ride along for half a Ranger shift with a trained Ranger to see what its all about, and help us make the most of our Ranger resources across the event! This is one of the best ways to meet lots of people, and a great way to have a direct, positive impact on the experience of other participants. Duney Dan is a Black Rock Ranger Mentor, and will be sharing BRR technology on how to coordinate as rangers and how to handle "hot" situations. The main topics include The Art of Rangering, Preparation, Communication, F. L. A. M. E. (fundamental BRR tech), and Crisis Intervention. Bonus topics include Specialization, Who's Who, Authority Figurines, Radio Protocols, and "The Rules". Your secret desire is to don the khaki and the utilikilt and spread the mellow... who could resist? Anyone wishing to fill the role of Trained Ranger at Apogaea should most definitely try to make this training session. Check the volunteer page at the main Apo website, ( www.apogaea. com ) for a schedule of volunteer shifts that will need coverage, we’ll be posting the schedule soon. If you're available to work only when the sign-up says the shift is already full, you'll still be welcome, but if you can swing a time that isn't fully covered, that's best. Email me for Location and directions for the training site; we’ll set the location when we can get a handle on the most convenient location for attendees.
