However, he would like to keep the same time of 1300-1530. He will drive his personal vehicle down and back the same day. So if you can issue funds for the mileage and per diem that would be great.

Would Dr. Gorka mind if we open the discussion to a larger audience (Le. wide or remain to a smaller group he Special Forces Warrant Officer Institute). If the venue opens to a larger group the dates would move to the right 8 or 9 August (same time}. Our tentative planning date of 7 August 2017 was centered on a small venue, since we will be the only ones working that date. The boss, foresees no issues on funding the flight and covering a rental car/lodging also if that works better for Dr. Gorka.
