    Fact check, Tim.
    
    The Technical Training Corps was first instituted in the cult
    in the early seventies.  Every org was to have one.  They 
    kept re-announcing it like it was a NEW thing every few years
    just to get the fresh fish in.  But it was the same scam as 
    below.

    Correct.
