Crowdfunding Request - Send me to an Intel seminar in Houston

I'm looking at the SHTF Intelligence Course (2 Day) – Houston.
The course is being taught on the 15th and 16th of July.

Although I've studied intelligence on my own; I have no practical experience or person-to-person training in it; I have always found that such instruction makes a huge difference in understanding the material.

This course offers:

• how to provide intelligence support to a neighborhood watch program, preparedness group, or security team
• the difference between gathering information and producing actionable intelligence
• the structure of reviewing and interpreting intelligence information
• how to use the Intelligence Cycle to gather, analyze, and produce threat intelligence
• how to map events to identify trends and produce early warning of local threats

The course was prepared by Sam Culper, of Forward Observer
See Sam's contributions to Oath Keepers here.

I'm looking to fund for $500; 300 for the course and 200 for a hotel. I can cover gas and food on my own

I'll see what I can share from the course with y'all, and try to sell Steemit as an OSINT source (see Din's Fire, a steemchain project by Hive account@rebelskum, as an example, of what Steemit can do).

I appreciate any help here; I am unemployed, and although Steemit has been good to me (very good! ), I can't swing this course on my own right now. If I come up short, I will probably sleep in the car ;>
[Edited - Hive account@joanroberts suggests that if I come up short, that I accumulate until the next seminar...I may do that]

Thanks!
