Michael Hastings

Rolling Stones magazine writer who wrote the story on Gen. Stanley McCrystal will be the keynote speaker at our conference Nov. 4-5, 2010 in Washington D.C.

More details will be sent out soon, but plan on starting off with getting some CAR experience on Thursday afternoon followed by an evening reception. Then things really fire up on Friday.

Speaking of Hastings, the Pentagon rescinded its permission for him to embed with a unit in Afghanistan. For more info and to add your comments, visit the MRE site.
