Shout Out: Jay Olson

By Master Instructor Jason Koski

I'd like to give a Shout Out to Jay Olson, facility TDS personnel, and scheduling Lieutenants for their hard work with making the CT/SD Instructor Basic course successful.

Jay is always the point person for these events and much of the logistics and coordination fall solely on his able shoulders, often without an appreciation for all of the cogs that need to fall into place to make it happen.

Important cogs in that wheel are facility TDS staff that coordinate on a local level all of the moving pieces to enable staff to attend this nine day event. Scheduling Lieutenants are also invaluable to ensure the facilities are able to run safely and securely while the students are learning their instructing skills and knowledge.

Facilities receive Instructors that are able to then teach three curriculums when it is complete, but there are a lot of moving parts in-between that need to move smoothly to enable the success of this event.

Thank you to everyone behind the scenes to make this happen. You are truly appreciated from an end user!
