i usually schedule my training 1hr before squad games... that should be 11am PST on sundays. the idea here is that there's only one hr to cover stuff so everyone involved is more focused on covering more material than just messing around and flying circles. plus this way, you are never late to a squad game.
i can be available upon request for 1 on 1 at the aforementioned timeslot or you can just wait till i run a training session which occurs more often when i see that more newbies have signed up for afs (otherwise about once a month). if you do request for 1on1, we can cover any adv topic including stuff that you might learn later in CDT too.
btw, afs is not just training sessions... that's actually maybe 10-20% of it. the vast majority of AFS is the forum space here where you can ask questions. so ask away, we're here checking everyday to answer your questions (which most of you arent taking advantage of).
to give you an idea of what i cover in training, here's an audio only of the last training session i ran, courtesy of hyro who was kind enough to record it for me

I'm also off thursday may 19th if it's better for you. Mainly just need to brush a bit on scouting. After that just general stuff I guess. I have yet to be in a real game so whatever u think I will expect from both sides I'd like to know.
