    Hum I thought green was training and red was a mission. Moles sling load training show's red so now I'm not sure.

    I'd be down for the advanced class. I don't code or script. I have no idea how too. I may not even understand it but I'll give it a go.

    Yet another question about the missions in October (and the calendar in general). What is the difference between the red and the green entries in the calendar?

    Deck, you can join Thursday training if you are available. After this one, we will program some sessions for getting to readiness level 2.

    Fargo, you should try to setup a Google Hangouts session or something similar maybe next week and propose this as a TS meeting on the roster.
