A very poweful network indeed. got to sit around with some of the folks in that club from various departments (police, fire, military) that all work Tactical EMS (emergency medical services, think SWAT team medics and combat medics) as they prepared and taught a course entirely devoted to their field. While none of these guys are particularly high up on the food chain in their departments, their course covers practically everything that you need to know to be a paramedic or SWAT team medic and every year they get plenty of people sent by their departments to get trained by them to do their jobs. Obvious authority=minimal, influence in the field=huge
