AMU and APU are a bit of a different setup. They're located near Scott and are a CF shop. I think that their other offices are near me. On Wed, Dec 14, 2011 at 8:14 AM, Scott Stroz wrote: > > I am taking classes at APU - which is essentially the same school. > Most of my classes have had people

I am taking classes at APU - which is essentially the same school. Most of my classes have had people from AMU in them. Most classes, I think I was the only non-military person enrolled. On Tue, Dec 13, 2011 at 9:35 PM, Bruce Sorge wrote: > > Yeah, I have been with them for three years now. > >
