Tier10 - Yes, we're crazy.
But the MSF training is a truly great idea. You seem sold on the idea. I'm not sure how much you looked into it, but the season is ending soon. I think they have sessions this weekend and next and then seem to be finished for the year. Surprisingly they still have openings. Looks like they opened multiple classes.
If you don't happen to take it this fall, please consider taking it next year anyway. You'll pick up a lot of good info.
